It’s kind of funny how some of my friends commented that I am getting cranky with my skin care ideas. I have actually blogged about this before, but I wonder if anyone has noticed that as I put the method together with my egg white skin facial.
Not many may know that the membrane under the shell of an egg actually has a miraculous shrinking effect which helps when used on the face. Today I put that egg membrane to the test again. Its shrinking effects never fail to amaze me!
I do have blackheads on my nose which I religiously remove once a week. After all the face steaming, baking soda to remove them and dry out the oil, blackheads removal strip, and occasional light squeezing with the blackhead removal tool, the pores are pretty much left starkly open.
I would use a freshly cracked egg. Remove the egg contents (you can save it in a container to use for daily facial treatments). Gently peel off the shell till you are able to pull out pieces of the inner membrane lining the shell. The membrane is rich in nutrients which are also found in the egg white. Use it while it’s wet, spread it out over (in this case) my nose. Wait for it to dry out.
This will take approximately 15-20 minutes. While playing the waiting game, you can actually feel gentle throbbing over the nose. This is the amazing part!!! You can literally feel it tightening.
Some people may find it a little painful. If it becomes unbearable, peel it off! For people with very sensitive skin, be cautious when doing this as the tightening effect may be too strong for the skin.
When it dries out, this is how it will look like. Haha see the little bit of shell stuck onto my nose. Peel it off, and wash out with clean water. Your skin will feel really smooth and delicate.
*My nose appears slightly red after the procedure. The redness should disappear in a very short while. This came about from the “shrinking” effect of the egg membrane.
I would love to hear feedback from my readers, should you wish to try it. It really amazes me and I love its shrinking power! It feels so good as compared too any kind of pore tightening lotion you can find in the market. Have fun! =)
Will you give this home remedy a try? What skin care home remedies do you use?

Hmm…sounds interesting. I wanna try, but kinda scared b/c I do have very sensitive skin.
guest
Wow, might try it just for tight nose pores, because I don’t get blackheads on my nose. I do the egg white mask though and sometimes that doesn’t close the pores in my nose properly.
So yeah, thanks for the idea~
guest
That’s interesting..I have to try this.
guest
Hmm, I’ll have to try this.
guest

omgosh it sounds pretty tedious, especially that whole preparation ritual before you even put on the egg thing. how long would you say the whole process takes? from first washing your face to washing it last.

I love the egg mask! I use egg whites not the skin tho. Yep, I can’t leave it on more than 15, my face turns red! But really good at tightening the skin. ;]
guest
Wow, my nose feels smoother now! =] Looks kind of cleaner too. It’s not red at all though, I must have tough skin. o_o
guest
woww thats really interesting
im gonna try it!
guest
yeah i hv heard of this before & i tried it once on my cheeks & it works & it’s fun!!(:
guest
That sounds cool, but I’m afraid my skin may be too sensitive as well, and I don’t know if I’d have the patience to get the membrane out of the egg.
guest
Soo……Use a RAW EGG? The lining of the membrane inside the egg shell??? Can it be any raw egg???
Why does it look so thick and white like toliet paper? Is that how it is suppose to look like???
guest
i tried it. it really works! my skin looks and feel smoother
how often can this be done in a week’s period?
guest
i am so going to try this! thanks for posting
guest
That is so weird. O_O
guest
I’m going to try this TONIGHT! I’ve tried using lemon as an astringent like you recommended and I can really tell the difference by how my blackheads would easily come out with the pore strip after using the lemon opposed to just using the pore strip after a shower or whatnot. I also tried the egg white mask and I liked it too. I did see that my freshly cleaned pores had gotten a bit smaller. I attempted to give the membrane a go but had a hard time peeling it off the shell =\ but I’ll give it another go tonight. I love your tips! Keep them coming
guest
Never heard of this either…
Please let me know of any other blackhead treatments (as you mentioned above)
Need to rid of mine desperately but nothing seems to work!

this may sound like a stupid question but.. which side of the membrane do you use? the side that is stuck to the shell or the side that touches the yolk?

What is the egg membrane? is it from the outer shell before the egg white?or is it the other term for egg yolk?
And what kind of strip did you use?is it a tissue? what kind of tissue?
And how many times per month should I have to do this?
