EGGWHITE: The secret to my youth

One of the reasons I still get mistaken for a 23 year old is: EGGWHITE. It’s one of my many secrets to my youthful looks. It all dates back to when I was a teen. After making eggs, my mother would place the egg white all over her face. She’d leave it on for at least 15 minutes. If leaving on longer, it’s even better. That way, everything goes to a good use. Nothing goes to waste.

Mom admits she’s gotten lazy and doesn’t use egg white as often. But whenever she makes eggs, she’ll still use it. I make eggs (omeletes) just about every weekend. I’ll leave my egg white on for about 30 minutes or more. Then just wash it off with water. My face feels so smooth afterwards.

After I made pumpkin pie (my annual tradition) on Christmas, I applied egg white to my face since I had used eggs for the pie. This time I must've left it on for almost an hour. After washing it off with lukewarm water, my face felt so refreshed.

This sure beats buying all those expensive cosmetic products displayed in the mall. A lot of those anti-wrinkle creams can run you well over $100, which in my opinion is not worth it. Plus, do they even work?

Natural beauty products, especially the ones you use from home, are so much better. When I say natural, I mean using food/beverage products. Some examples are milk and a variety of fruits, which I will get into another time.

So far, I've discussed EGGWHITES and SUNSCREEN as among my secrets for staying looking young. I have so many more anti-aging secrets to share, which will be revealed in the new year. Stay tuned...
