If natural food is good for the inside, it's certainly good for the outside as well. We've looked at a few food
things that people can take right out of their kitchens and use as cleansers, exfoliators, facials, and for the hair.
Eggs are one of the best food products because both the white and the yolk can be used for different things. Save half a dozen for breakfast, and use the other half to:
-
Mix together 3 Tbsp olive oil with one whole egg, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar for shampoo.
-
To condition you hair after the shampoo, beat an egg yolk until creamy and frothy, add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 c. water, massage into hair, then rise out with warm water.
-
Egg white are great for oily skin. Beat an egg white with the juice from half a lemon, apply to face, and then rinse with warm water after 15 minutes. You can also add 1 tsp honey, which will help to tighten pores.

I have never tried to use eggs as shampoo, or conditioner, but your ideas have intrigued me. I think I might try it tonight. I am a writer for Beauty Secrets 101 and recently posted a blog about shampoo and how to find the right one for your hair type. Is this egg shampoo better for one type of hair than another, or does it work on all types? I included a link to your article in my post!
