Vaseline and Egg White Face Mask
Vaseline: also known as petroleum jelly, protects skin (acts as a barrier), and helps to seal in skin's moisture. Also helps skin retain water which makes it a great ingredient to fight wrinkles! Applying Vaseline on face will leave your skin super soft and silky because of its moisturizing properties as well as give it a really beautiful glow.
Eggs: packed with protein, egg whites tighten, aid in regenerating cells, and purging pores. Makes for the perfect skin cleanser as well!
Lemon juice: acts as a natural bleaching agent helping to reduce the appearance of scars, dark spots, and age spots. Also detoxifies skin, cleanses, and acts as a toner.
You'll Need:
- 1 tbsp Vaseline – if you don't have Vaseline, you can substitute for aloe vera gel
- 1 egg white
- a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice (preferably organic if you can!)
Directions:
- Separate the egg white from the egg yolk.
- Whip up the white just until a little frothy and add the Vaseline and a few drops of lemon juice.
- Apply the mask to a cleansed face and neck and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes or until completely dry. Your skin may feel a little tight, but that's completely normal.
- Rinse off and pat dry.

Other Amazing Ways to Use Vaseline on The Skin
Another great way to improve the health of your skin, is to put Vaseline on your face before bed. Just a small amount is all you need to hydrate dry skin, and wake up with the most amazing glow you've ever had!
Massage Vaseline into your hands and cuticles before bed and wake up with hydrated, soft cuticles. This will also strengthen the nails and promote growth.
Apply a small amount of Vaseline along the lash line and on your eyebrows to encourage hair growth. Vaseline is packed full of nutrients and vitamins which can prompt faster growth.
Use Vaseline to remove stubborn makeup. It's a cheap, safe alternative to commercial makeup removers and it does an incredible job!
Apply all over body as a moisturizer. Vaseline has incredible healing and hydrating properties, so it makes for a great body lotion. Apply immediately after getting out of the shower for maximum results.
Got an uneven tan? Vaseline can actually help tone skin! Simply apply all over affected areas in slow, circular motions.
Vaseline helps to lock in moisture, so the more often you apply Vaseline to the face, the more hydration you'll get!
