2 eggs separated
1/2 cup olive oil

1. Place the egg yolks in a small bowl, and whisk the olive oil into the yolks.

2. To use, first steam your pores open by soaking a washcloth in hot water, wringing it out, and applying it to your face. Repeat several times. Then, avoiding the area around your eyes, smooth the yolk mixture over your face. Leave in place for 10 minutes.

3. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Apply over the egg yolk mixture. Then lie down with your feet higher than your head and relax for 30 minutes.

4. Rinse the mask off with lukewarm water and a washcloth. Finish with a splash of cool water to close your pores.
