The Weird Breakfast Ingredient That Should Be in Your Skin Care Products
Likely when you think of eggs, a delicious cheesy omelet with a side of home fries and a mimosa comes to mind. (Just us? Never mind…) But the brunch staple is actually not just a morning must—it’s a skin care savior! (Hey, there’s a reason it’s in so many DIY recipes.) What’s so great about eggs you ask? Well egg whites, namely, contain a protein called albumin, which is great for oily skin as it helps tighten and shrink sebum-producing pores. In addition, egg whites are awesome at helping to tone up skin and beat acne. Bottom line: what’s not to love? Scroll on for four egg beauty products we’re eyeing right now. Mimosa optional.
