DIY Two Ingredient Facial


Nov21
What? Another DIY mask post? Yep! Last week’s DIY green beauty post was so much fun to make, I’m just going to keep rolling with it. The egg mask from last week was basically just a revitalizing mask for normal skin. Truth be told, I’m not sure what the purpose of it was, but it was mighty satisfying at any rate. This week, let’s try something a little more specific, a toning and tightning mask.

With the holidays and the end of the semester right around the corner, I’m aware that you don’t have a bunch of time on your hands to be gathering ingredients and making mask concoction. That’s why I went looking for a super simple mask this time around. It has just two ingredients (gasp!) and it will make your skin look all shiny and new for those Thanksgiving group family photos.

I’d bet that you even have these two items in your dorm fridge. If not, you probably need to take a trip to the grocery store anyhow.

Since this mask is so simple and doesn’t have any chemicals or unnatural ingredients, it’s already pretty green. If you want to make sure it’s super green, get some local organic cage free eggs and organic lemons. If you’re a vegan... Uhh... Well I’ll do a post for that soon.

This time around you’ll only need these two things:
  • ½ Lemon (juiced)
  • 1 Egg White

If you have dry skin, you may want to add the entire egg (yolk and all), or skip this mask all together. It can be a little drying.

Just juice your lemon and strain the juice. Blend in the egg white using a fork or whisk. You want it to get a little bubbly.


Slather it on and set a timer for ten to thirty minutes. It will get hard. Spend this time doing something productive like researching the salary of your future career. It’s always good to find out if you could really live on that medical assistant salary before you invest in the training.

Anywho, rinse it off and voila! Shiny tight skin! No need to thank me. It's what I'm here for :)
