  • Question
    Should I shower before or after the egg facial mask?
    Community Answer
    Shower after. If you shower before, the eggs will have nothing to "grab onto". After, you want the mask to be well and truly off your face, and a shower can help with that.
  • Question
    Should I use soap or warm water to remove the mask?
    Community Answer
    Do not use warm water as this makes the egg stick to your face. Use soap and cool to cold water.
  • Question
    Which moisturizer can I use after I have applied the mask?
    Community Answer
    You can use any that works well for you, but if you use olive or coconut oil in the mask and then use an oil infused moisturizer, it could cause breakouts if you have oily or combination skin.
  • Question
    Does the nourishing face mask also help with acne?
    Community Answer
    No, because it has too much oil in it. The simple mask works because the lemon juice acts as an astringent, while the honey will help clear out the acne-causing bacteria.

    If you can and you have the necessary ingredients, then it's necessary. However if you don't have the necessary ingredients or time, then make it frequent but not every day.
  • Question
    What time of day is it best to use the mask?
    Community Answer
    It's up to you. You should do it after washing your face, which is normally done in the morning and evening. Most people use masks in the evening, as that is when they have the most time.
  • Question
    Can I store almond oil and the vitamin E capsule drop by putting each together in a plastic bottle and using for few days on my facial skin?
    Community Answer
    You can but it's recommended that you use a darkly colored glass bottle, not plastic, for purity. Definitely use within a few days because the oil properties will lessen with time and heat. It is best to only make enough for use each day but understandably, when life is busy it can be easier to make more in advance.
  • Question
    Do I keep the remains of a mask or should I discard it?
    Community Answer
    You should always discard the used facial mask because it will have the bacteria from your previous facial.
  • Question
    Can I make slime out of this?
    Community Answer
    No, you can't, because it is a face mask. Use borax or cornstarch to make slime.
  • Question
    Can I wash my nose with it?
    Community Answer

  • Question
    Why is the mask not used around the eyes, mouth and nose?
    Community Answer
    If you get the mask in your eyes, it will be very irritating. If you ingest it, the raw egg in the mask can cause food poisoning.
  • Question
    Can I use any facial moisturizer after using the egg white mixture or do I use the egg yolk mixture as my moisturizer after using the egg white mixture?
    Community Answer
    Any facial moisturizer will work, because the egg whites will remove any oiliness and your face will feel a bit dry.
  • Question
    Will the lemon juice in the mask bleach my skin at all?
    Community Answer
    It will get rid of acne marks and clogged pores, and may gradually fade freckles, so yes, it will bleach your skin a little, especially if you use the mask frequently.
  • Question
    Can I use sugar instead of honey in the mask?
    Community Answer
    No. Sugar does not have the same antibacterial and soothing properties as honey.
  • Question
    How long will an egg mask last before it must be used?
    Community Answer
    The longest I would say is a day or two, because it can get hard and it might make your fridge smell.
  • Question
    How long does it take for me to start seeing the changes on my face?

    Community Answer
    It is recommended to use face masks once or twice a week. You can adjust this to your personal preference.
  • Question
    Should I leave the facial mask on overnight?
    Community Answer
