There are many home remedies for acne and for people with very sensitive skin that is easily irritated, natural home treatments are better than medicated acne treatments. Commercially available treatments for zits can be too harsh and may require you to use them with sun protection, which in itself can also aggravate the condition. One of the most popular natural acne treatments is egg white mask. This is fairly simple to make and is appealing for those with a tight budget since it is cheap to make. In addition, the ingredients that you'll need are most likely available in your own kitchen.
Egg white is known to decrease oiliness, tighten pores, reduce inflammation and reduce the darkness of scars left by pimples. There are those who don't like the idea of egg white mask because it is messy and the smell of egg whites can be annoying. However, if you are looking for an affordable acne solution that you can do while at home, this is a good option.
To make the egg white mask, simple get one egg and crack it. Separate the yolk from the white. This can be done with your hands easily. Another method that worked for me is to only crack the shell lightly to make a small hole so you'd get only most of the white and leave the yolk inside the shell.
Once the egg white is separated, you can combine it with any of the following:

Once the egg white is separated, you can combine it with any of the following:
- Honey
- Lemon juice
- Milk
- Oatmeal
I personally prefer adding a few drops of lemon juice to counteract the smell of the yolks. However if you are sensitive to lemons, opt for the other three ingredients instead. Mix your mixture well and apply carefully on your washed face. Allow the mask to dry and rinse well with water afterwards. Note that you may experience tightening and slight itching as the mask hardens. These are quite normal.
This egg white mask can be used regularly, preferably twice a week. It is important to not overdo this as it can dry the skin. Apply moisturizer afterwards.
