Are egg whites safe to use on the skin?

Home remedies are becoming more and more popular, and many of them are being shared online. Using egg whites is one such treatment that claims to brighten and tighten your skin. However, according to Healthline, egg whites, used as an anti-aging mask or spot treatment, pose several risks.

These include allergic reactions, egg intolerance, salmonella infection, skin irritation, other infections, surface contamination, and putting others at risk. Egg whites can cause severe itchiness, rash, hives, and breathing difficulties, while salmonella infection can cause severe gastrointestinal discomfort.

Skin irritation can occur from any substance, and raw egg whites can cause secondary infections. Surface contamination can occur from the mask running off the face and dripping around the house. Additionally, using egg whites on loved ones with egg white allergies can put them at risk. Therefore, it is essential to avoid using egg whites on your face.
