“lemon and egg” combo that people rave about online! 😄 While it might sound like some secret treasure recipe, it’s usually mentioned for either health, beauty, or wellness purposes. Let’s break it down carefully:
1. Lemon + Egg “Benefits”
a. For Skin (Face Mask)
-
Egg white: Tightens pores, firms skin, and may help reduce excess oil.
-
Lemon juice: Natural source of vitamin C, can brighten skin, and has mild exfoliating properties.
-
Usage: Mix the white of 1 egg with a teaspoon of lemon juice, apply to your face for 10–15 min, then rinse.
⚠️ Caution: Lemon can make your skin sensitive to sunlight. Always use sunscreen afterward.
b. For Hair (Shine & Strength)
-
Egg yolk: Nourishes hair, adds protein, and can make hair shinier.
-
Lemon: Helps with dandruff and scalp oiliness.
-
Usage: Mix yolk with a few drops of lemon, massage into scalp/hair, leave 10–20 min, rinse thoroughly.
c. For Health (Drink Trend)
-
Some wellness influencers suggest a “lemon + raw egg drink” for protein + vitamin C.
⚠️ Caution: Raw eggs carry a risk of salmonella. If trying this, it’s safer to use pasteurized eggs.
2. Why People Call It “GOLD”
It’s simple, cheap, natural, and often has multiple claimed benefits for skin, hair, and health. The hype comes from it being an old-school home remedy that’s easy to make.
