Blackheads: those stubborn, tiny dark spots on your nose, chin, and sometimes even cheeks that seem impossible to get rid of. You've scrubbed, peeled, and steamed—yet they return. Enter a humble, natural, and shockingly effective remedy you likely already have in your fridge: an egg.

-

Step-by-step instructions

๐งช What Are Blackheads, Really?
Blackheads (a type of acne called open comedones) are clogged hair follicles filled with:
-
Sebum (oil)
-
Dead skin cells
-
Pollutants
The top of the pore is open to air, so the contents oxidize and turn black (not dirt!). They most often appear on nose, chin, forehead, and areas with high sebaceous activity.
๐ฅ Why an Egg? The Science Behind the Mask
Egg whites are astringent, meaning they can tighten the skin and temporarily shrink pores. Here's what makes them potent:
Component | Benefit |
---|---|
Albumin | Natural astringent that tightens skin |
Lysozyme | Enzyme that breaks down bacteria |
Protein | Supports skin repair and smoothness |
Water | Hydrates skin during application |
