Blackheads… Ah, that scourge of pores that clings to our skin, especially on the nose, chin, or forehead. We know them all too well: discreet yet tenacious, they resist almost everything. But what if we told you that a simple ingredient from your fridge can work wonders to purify your skin? Yes, yes: an egg. No need to invest in an expensive cream or harsh patches. This homemade trick is gentle, effective, and very simple to adopt.
Why an egg white can save your skin
Egg whites are like the discreet superhero of natural beauty. Rich in albumin, a protein with multiple benefits, they:
tighten pores,
absorb excess sebum,
help unclog impurities that clog hair follicles.
All without damaging the epidermis. It’s therefore a great ally for those looking for a gentle yet effective solution against blackheads.

Gently remove, starting at the edges.
Rinse with cold water to tighten pores.
