Home remedy for acne

Submitted by Aimee M

To clear up acne wash your face with a mild soap, then put egg yolk on your face and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wash it off with a warm wash cloth. Repeat this every night and within a few days you should notice a drastic difference.

I was told that egg yolk carries Vitamin A, which is often what dermatologists use to clear up acne. This has worked beautifully for me every time I used this technique.

TipKing says: I am not too sure about this but I do not think that you can catch Salmonella by having eggs on your skin.

you won't get poisoning Comments By: kay on 2006-02-08

you only have the possibility of getting salmonella poisoning if you eat the raw egg. I personally don't like this tip because it didn't work for me, however I did read somewhere that egg yolks do contain vitamin A which is good for your skin and scars, so maybe its worth a shot
