Benefits of Adding Eggshell to Your Diet

4. Revitalize Skin

While aestheticians have long recognized the health effects of egg whites on facial skin, the effects of eggshell are less well known. Aestheticians now report a face mask made with a cup of eggshell powder, one egg white, and a tablespoon of sugar can help rejuvenate your skin. Once the mask dries, the eggshell absorbs toxins in the skin, resulting in fewer blemishes. Eggshell is also gently abrasive, and applying the mask buffs away dead, dry facial skin. The calcium from the eggshells is also absorbed into the skin, promoting cell regeneration and resulting in a soft and radiant glow.
