Why Vaseline + Egg?
-
Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly): Known for its ability to lock in moisture and create a barrier on the skin. It’s highly moisturizing and can help with dry skin, healing chapped lips, and promoting smoothness.
-
Egg: Packed with proteins and vitamins like biotin, vitamin A, and vitamin E, egg is commonly used in hair and skin care routines. Egg whites tighten the skin, while egg yolks provide deep nourishment, especially for dry skin and hair.
How to Make the Vaseline + Egg Mixture:
Here are a few ways you can combine these two ingredients for different beauty benefits.
1. Vaseline + Egg for Soft, Smooth Skin:
Ingredients:
-
1 tablespoon of Vaseline
-
1 egg (you can use the whole egg or just the yolk, depending on your skin’s needs)
Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, whisk the egg until it’s smooth.
-
Add Vaseline and mix well until you get a thick, creamy paste.
-
Apply the mixture to your skin (face or body) and leave it on for 15-20 minutes.
-
Rinse off with warm water.
Why it works: The egg provides nutrients while the Vaseline locks in moisture. This combo can be great for dry, flaky skin, especially during winter months. It also makes your skin feel soft and hydrated after rinsing.
2. Vaseline + Egg for Hair Moisture and Shine:
Ingredients:
-
1 tablespoon of Vaseline
-
1 egg (whole or just the yolk for extra nourishment)
Instructions:
-
Mix the Vaseline with the egg until it forms a smooth paste.
-
Apply this mixture to your hair, starting from the roots and working your way to the ends.
-
Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave it on for 30-60 minutes.
-
Rinse thoroughly with warm water, then shampoo as usual to remove the Vaseline. It may take a few washes to get it all out, so be patient.
Why it works: The Vaseline coats the hair and seals in moisture, while the egg adds protein and helps nourish the hair follicles. This treatment is particularly beneficial for dry or damaged hair that needs some serious hydration and shine.
3. Vaseline + Egg for Lip Care:
Ingredients:
-
1/2 teaspoon Vaseline
-
1/2 teaspoon egg yolk
Instructions:
-
Mix the Vaseline and egg yolk together until smooth.
-
Apply it directly onto your lips and leave it on for 10-15 minutes.
-
Gently wipe it off with a damp cloth.
Why it works: This combination helps soothe dry, cracked lips. The egg yolk provides vitamins that nourish and soften the skin, while the Vaseline helps lock in the moisture for softer lips.
Caution:
-
Vaseline can be difficult to remove from hair, so be sure to shampoo thoroughly if you’re using it as a hair treatment.
-
Egg allergies: If you have an egg allergy, avoid this combination. Always do a patch test on your skin before trying any new DIY remedies.
-
Avoid the eye area: Be careful not to apply these mixtures near your eyes, as the Vaseline can be too heavy for delicate skin.
Why You Might Be Shocked:
