Eggs are a common part of most people’s diets and are used for a wide variety of delicious food. But did you know that their versatility is not just limited to all kinds of mouth-watering recipes? Eggs can also be used for other purposes, as they have a range of little-known benefits that you should not miss out on. Eggs can be useful for many tasks in your home and learning a thing or two about these little tricks can make your life a lot easier.
Skincare
Most people aren’t aware of the fact that eggs can be used as a natural way to smoothen your skin, but it really works! It’s especially the white of the egg that is used for this purpose as it helps reduce dark circles around the eyes. Not only that, but it also softens and smoothens your skin. The beneficial effect of eggs is noticeable immediately and lasts for several hours. Make sure to only use small amounts around the eyes as it doesn’t require a lot of egg white to reach the full effect.
To bring your plants back to life
We have an incredible trick for you! When you boil eggs in water, a certain percentage of the calcium found in the shell of the egg gets washed out and absorbed by the water. So don’t simply pour the used water down the drain. Use it for your flowers instead. Obviously, you need to let the water cool down before using it to boost the beautiful flowers and plants of your home. The reason why this works, as you already suspected, is that calcium has great nutritional value for plants.
To get rid of blackheads
Homemade masks containing egg whites are just as effective as the professional creams and patches you can buy in stores. Needless to say, they are also much cheaper and natural than ready-made products. If you are struggling due to blackheads there is a simple recipe ready to help you out of your misery. Simply mix some egg white with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and stir everything until you get a nice paste. Then apply this effective formula on your blackheads. Now all you need to do is to have some patience and wait for the egg to do its magic. After rinsing everything off with water, you will be amazed. Your blackhead problem will be dealt with.
Let your linoleum floors shine!
There are plenty of expensive, yet not particularly effective care products available for linoleum floors. What many people don’t know is that there is a very simple and inexpensive alternative: egg yolks. Simply add a beaten egg yolk to about half a liter of water and use a broom to mop the floor with this surprising cleaning liquid. The egg yolk helps your linoleum get back its shininess and in turn, your floor will look brand new!
