Petroleum Jelly and Egg Yolk Mask: The Truth About Wrinkles 🥚

If you want to try this deeply moisturizing DIY mask at home, proper hygiene is essential to protect your skin barrier.

• 1 Egg Yolk (preferably pasteurized to minimize bacterial risks)
• 1 Teaspoon Pure Petroleum Jelly
• 1/2 Teaspoon Honey (optional, for natural humectant benefits)

1. Cleanse Thoroughly: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, oil, and impurities.
2. Mix the Paste: Whisk the egg yolk and petroleum jelly together in a clean glass bowl until smooth and creamy.
3. Apply a Thin Layer: Smooth the mixture evenly over dry areas of your face, avoiding the immediate eye zone and mouth.
4. Short-Contact Time: Leave the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not sleep in raw egg overnight, as raw egg can dry out, harbor bacteria, and cause severe irritation.
5. Rinse and Seal: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow up with your standard gentle moisturizer.
