Previously I've made egg white face masks and found they've really firmed my skin and closed pores but I hadn't thought about adding tissue to it. I can hear you all now, saying 'What? What do you mean tissue?'
How to make an egg white face mask
What you will need
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tissue
- A whisk/fork/food blended type doodah
Method
1. Whisk the egg whites up into a light froth, you want them to be white but in no way firm. (I tried it without whisking them and ended up in a big old mess.)
2. Separate the layers/ply of tissue so you just have one.
3. Paste around half the egg white onto your skin with a make up brush (I used one of those otherwise useless ones which come with blusher).
4. Pat the tissue onto your face - you may want to cut holes for your eyes and mouth or do it in sections.
5. Smooth the remaining egg white over the tissue. Please try not to chase your husband around the flat pretending to kill him. Mine didn't like it.
6. Allow to dry.
7. Remove once firm and tight. It should peel off in a film like state.
My skin felt remarkably smooth afterward and my pores (the bane of my life) were closed up leaving my skin looking a darn sight perkier than usual.
So what do you think, would you give it a go?
TTFN,
P.S. Yes, eggs. And yes, tissue.
P.P.S. If you give this a whirl please do tweet me a picture to @athriftymrsuk.

Ah! I favourited a YouTube video with a 'How To' on the egg-white and tissue face mask a while ago but STILL haven't tried it. May just have to give it a whirl now that you've proved it works :-)

Sounds mad enough to work. Loving that you "Freddy-ied" Mr T. I was thinking you looked like the villain from an '80s slasher film as I was reading the post. Of course I am sure by the end of the treatment you looked beautiful :-) x
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to lie. I'm going to try this just so I can chase my husband round the house!! :-)
ReplyDelete'Please try not to chase your husband around the flat pretending to kill him. Mine didn't like it' love that! your poor husband!
ReplyDeletewell, what can I say? Can't believe the scariness of your pics, but you've given me a good laugh this morning.
When my girl was a baby & had nappy rash, my SIL who seems to think she's Barbara in the Good Life, suggested that I use egg white on the girls bum. Whisk it on, leave to dry,and the layer is meant to help the rash dry out.
Didn't try it. Used sudocrem and left bum bare so air could get around it instead, which did the job.
My point being, that it seems egg white is apparently a jolly helpful product.
Not trying it though,no. Can imagine state I'd get self into, or the doorbell would go and I'd forget and answer (which I always do when wearing a tiara), or I'd scare The girl.
But I have LOVED seeing your pics this fine morn!
Ta!

"Please try not to chase your husband around the flat pretending to kill him. Mine didn't like it." BUT THAT IS HALF THE FUN OF A FACE MASK!! Hahaha!

Gosh, you scared me with the Hannibal Lector look alike! Only joking, thanks for scaring me into wanting to give this a try this weekend xox
ReplyDeleteThis wouldn't be allowed in my house :( My husband gets scared when I use any kind of peel-off mask so I imagine this would cause him to actually leave me...
ReplyDeleteHaahahaaa...I must try this, I love husband scaring. I may combine it with jumping out from behind a door as well!
ReplyDeleteSounds gross but would probably be amazing, will have to try this and jump out of the wardrobe ;)
