The method of using egg white to remove blackheads is relatively simple, although its effectiveness may vary from person to person. The specific steps are as follows: Prepare one fresh egg and some cosmetic cotton pads or thin tissues. Separate the egg white from the yolk, making sure to use only the egg white. Soak the cotton pads or tissues in the egg white, ensuring they absorb it thoroughly. After cleansing the face, apply a warm towel to areas with blackheads for a short while to open the pores, facilitating the subsequent steps. Place the soaked cotton pads or tissues onto the blackheads, gently pressing them to conform to the skin. Wait approximately 10–15 minutes for the egg white to air-dry and tighten the skin, then carefully peel off the cotton pads or tissues. At this point, some blackheads may be removed along with them. Please note that the effectiveness of removing blackheads with egg white may not be significant and may not be suitable for everyone. If the blackhead problem is severe or persistent, more professional treatment methods are recommended. Additionally, maintaining good dietary habits, sleep patterns, and regular skincare routines are important measures for preventing and improving blackheads.
