Phan-tastic Tips

Egg White and Yolk Mask

Michelle Phan suggests using organic eggs laid by happy free range/cage free hens.

Separate the egg whites and the egg yolk into separate bowls.

Beat the egg whites until frothy.

Using your fingers, apply a tablespoon of egg whites onto your clean face.

Allow it to dry for a few minutes.

Rinse off the egg whites and pat dry your face with a face towel.

Now use the egg yolk as a natural moisturiser. You only need to scoop a forkful of the yolk and apply onto your face using your fingers.

Wait for it to dry for a few minutes.

Rinse off the yolk and pat dry your face with a face towel.

Rice Water Toner

Michelle Phan recommends using organic rice which contains no pesticides.

Save the water that was used to rinse the uncooked rice. This water should appear cloudy.

Pour the rice water into a small container and store in the fridge.
