In this case, extracts are used - extracts or suspensions of substances extracted from a natural product.

Beauticians often recommend using the egg in home care, and it is useful for various problems and types of epidermis. When dry, the ingredient will help nourish the skin, while if it is oily, it can reduce the appearance of seborrhea. Eggs are used in the care of depleted skin, "gray", deprived of nutrition and strength. They become part of the course of fortification, the fight against rosacea, age-related changes. But each program has its own nuances. And the main one - the egg must be divided into components.

• Use the yolk to deeply nourish the skin. It is used as a component of fortifying formulations, for skin lifting, treatment of rosacea and edema. It will help tired epidermis, as well as prone to youthful problems: inflammation, acne. Along with the yolk ingredient, honey, natural oils, clay, fruit purees, cottage cheese and sour cream, rice and oat flour can be used.

Choose additional ingredients for the care mask, depending on what problem you have to solve.
