I’d like to try this anti-aging face mask recipe but want to confirm that you meant 1 egg YOLK? From the pictures, it looks like you might be using the WHITE, but I’m not sure. Help please.

Using homemade face masks is a great way to stay away from the harmful chemicals which some creams contain. However you may wanna use a good moisturizer with SPF in summer.
The masks provide the face a blast of nutrients and you can use many variations and all organic products.

Hi Kelli, I made DIY facial moisturizer, I used coconut oil, almond oil, aloe gel, beeswax and you can add your favorite essential oil. It leaves my skin smooth and healthy.

I’m also interested in the comment about the egg yolk. Is it supposed to be the white or yolk? Your picture indicates the white.
Stephanie Shojayi says
I actually think you could use either depending on your desired results…
*Egg whites have astringent properties that help shrink pores by tightening the skin.
*Egg yolks would be ideal for people with dry or flaky skin. The nutrients in egg yolks work to hydrate, nourish, and moisturize dull skin.
Hope that helps!
