Stop and think the next time you crack open an egg and begin to separate the yolk from the whites. You may think you are merely tossing the gooey yellow center into the trash, but you are really throwing away nature’s little beauty secret. 

The yolk of an egg can be used to give you great skin! With essential vitamins E and A contained in the yolk, egg yolks act as an astringent and antioxidant agent for the face. 

The yolk smoothes and cleanses the skin by tightening pores and pulling out impurities. Not only will you be cutting the high fat 59 calories yolk from your diet, you’ll be clearing up your complexion as well. Here are some tips to egg you on:

	With clean hands, gently crack the egg open.
	Over a bowl, spill the yolk onto your palm and let the albumen (egg white) fall through fingers.
	Spill any excess egg white that remains in shell into bowel.
	The yolk should be separated and still in your palm. Place in another bowel.

*For easier separation, an egg separator (plastic device that looks like a measuring cup with holes in the bottom) can be purchased.

Beat the egg yolk and apply to clean face with fingers or cotton ball.
Let dry for about 10 minutes and then rinse with water.

 Applying right before showering may be a wise decision. Your skin will feel rejuvenated immediately!
