Egg white face mask is an excellent source of collagen and acts as a tightening agent for the facial muscles. Collagen contains glycine and proline(amino acids) and egg whites are very rich in these. This creates an uplifting effect and gets rid of unwanted facial hairs also as it creates a pulling effect. This mask also renders a natural glow to the skin if used regularly.

Egg Whites– They are full of protein and albumin and act as a firming agent for the facial skin. It helps in removing unwanted hair follicles from the face as it creates a pulling effect .
