Benefits of Adding Eggshell to Your Diet

5. Relieve Sensitive Skin

People who suffer from sensitive skin can develop frequent rashes and inflammation. More serious skin conditions, like contact and atopic eczema, can seriously impact a person's quality of life. Salves and ointments offer limited relief, but can also get expensive. Next time your skin breaks out and the itching starts, consider an old home remedy. Drop some cooked, crushed eggshells into a bottle of apple cider vinegar. Let the solution sit for about a week, then shake vigorously and, using a cotton ball or soft cloth, apply the mixture to irritable patches of skin as often as needed.
