Eggs Benefit #7: Beauty Regimen
Although applying raw eggs to your body may sound gross, people have been doing so for thousands of years. The beneficial aspect of eggs comes from the protein. On average, one egg has 7 grams of protein: 4 grams from the egg white and 3 grams from the yolk. The proteins in the egg yolk are lipoproteins. Egg whites contain 40 different protein types including ovalbumin, ovotransferrin, ovomucoid, lysozyme, and ovo macroglobulin.
On a basic level, skin treatment using eggs supplies the body with amino acids to form new proteins. Going beyond the nutritional aspect, the albumin from the egg whites aid in temporarily plumping skin thereby reducing the appearance of pores and saggy skin and also naturally removing blackheads.
