Which is better, egg yolk mask or egg white mask?

1. Egg white is good for oily skin

Oily skin secretes a lot of oil, which easily attracts dust, causing skin inflammation and acne. Egg white is rich in protein and a small amount of acetic acid and lysozyme. Protein can enhance the skin's lubrication, acetic acid can protect the skin's slight acidity, and lysozyme can kill bacteria. Therefore, egg white can clear away heat and detoxify, reduce inflammation, protect the skin and enhance the skin's immune function for oily skin.

2. Egg yolk is good for dry skin

Dry skin: Dry skin is dehydrated and prone to fine wrinkles. The lecithin rich in egg yolk can break down cholesterol and fat in the blood or deposited on the blood vessel walls, providing the skin with sufficient moisture and oxygen. Egg yolk is also rich in vitamin A, which has the effect of regulating the metabolism of the epidermis and stratum corneum, can resist aging, remove wrinkles, make the skin firm and smooth, and also has a moisturizing effect.

3. Egg white is good for acne-prone skin

The stratum corneum on the face of acne-prone skin is easily accumulated, the skin is affected by oil, bacteria, etc., the pores are clogged, inflamed, etc. Using an egg white mask can help protect the skin's slight acidity, kill bacteria, help clear acne, and prevent acne from growing wildly on the face.

4. Egg yolk is good for facial mask for fine lines

Skin that is prone to fine lines loses moisture faster and lacks nutritional nourishment. Using an egg yolk mask can deeply nourish the skin, reduce fine lines and dry lines, and effectively delay aging. If you use egg white, its deep nourishing ability is not as good as that of egg yolk mask.
