Benefits Of DIY Anti-Aging Egg White Face Mask

Egg White

  • Egg whites are a rich source of riboflavin which possesses antioxidant properties. Riboflavin helps in neutralizing free radicals that damage skin cells. It also helps in repairing damaged skin cells. Hence applying egg whites helps in preventing premature aging of the skin.
  • According to North Carolina Egg Association, the egg white contains more than half the egg’s total protein, a majority of the egg’s niacin, riboflavin, magnesium, potassium and sodium, and none of the fat(source).
  •  One of the main reason of behind wrinkles is a decrease in skin’s collagen levels. Glycine is one of the main amino acids that make up collagen in your skin. Since egg whites are high in glycine(source), that increases the collagen levels in your skin. This improves your skin’s elasticity and makes your skin youthful.
  • Scientific studies suggest that increased glycine concentration enhance collagen synthesis(source).
  • Egg whites contain powerful astringent properties. This helps shrink pores. Hence tightens your skin eventually.

Lemon Juice

  • Lemon juice is high in vitamin C (source). Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals to prevent skin cell damage. Scientific research suggests that vitamin C provides protection against free radicals-induced cellular damage by scavenging of reactive oxygen species(source).
  • It is a rich source of citric acid. Citric acid increases collagen production in the skin. This improves the elasticity and strength of your skin. Hence reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Since lemon juice is high in vitamin C, it prevents the overproduction of melanin. This helps in lightening skin pigmentations like dark spots, age spots, and sun spots.

Frankincense Essential Oil

  • Frankincense Essential Oil works great for fading scars, dark spots and age spots. Hence makes your skin tone even.
  • It promotes skin cell regeneration. This helps in improving your skin complexion and reduce signs of aging.
  • Its powerful antioxidant properties eliminate harmful free radicals and prevent cell damage. This helps slow down skin’s natural aging process.
  • It boosts collagen production in your skin. This improves the elasticity and strength of your skin. Hence adding frankincense oil to your face mask will help in skin tightening.
