This Mental Health spa treatment came to my attention from my boss. We were talking about face mask and such and she told me how her Mother; Would put egg whites on their faces and egg yolks in their hair. Then egg white tightens up the skin and is supposed to reduce wrinkles. While the egg yolk helps dry and damaged hair and is supposed to help the hair grow.

In the photo’s below you can see the process of me separating the egg whites and yolk, and it is applied to my face and hair. Here’s what and how I did this process of treating myself.

So first thing there’s a lot of egg whites in one egg, you might not use it all. And generally, the more that’s on your face the longer it will take to dry. You can save the extra in a jar for later, use all of it because maybe you have time to kill and want that time to relax and recharge or use it for cooking.

I applied it to my face with my hands and tried to get an even coat as possible. Which is more difficult than it sounds as egg white is goopy and runny and funny.  Then I waited for it to dry and boy does this dry; It was really fun once it dried to try and move my face because yes IT WAS THAT STIFF!!!

The egg yolk was much easier to apply to my hair, I would recommend scrambling the egg yolk before application. I left the egg yolk in my hair for 20 minutes as that’s what my boss said she and her mum used to do.  Then I rinsed with cold/cool water, my boss said that warm water can cause it to clump up and it’s harder to get out of the hair that way.

I am excited to share this with everyone as it was shared to me and is one of the main things this blog is about. Sharing information on useful ways to use what’s around us in the environment. While a lot of the time it’s plants but the other times it can be eggs, but as we share information it won’t be forgotten and it better connects us to the earth and our environment.

Enjoy this simple treat yourself you deserve it!!
