Editor’s Note: Eggs are beneficial for not only the body but the skin as well. Topically applying egg on the face, as part of a mask, has a lot of benefits for both dry and oily skin. Saideeps has suggested two homemade masks using ingredients found easily in the kitchen, to counter the negative effects of two extreme skin types. Try them and share your feedback here and here.
As with any new product that you try on your skin, it is advisable that you do a patch test first.

Oily skin control paste:
