This small component of the egg accounts for up to 80% of the useful components.. As a part of face masks, it is irreplaceable because of its nutrients:

• Vitamin A or Retinol. It has a pronounced effect on the skin, healing acne marks, acne, acne at any age; has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects. Retinol is also available to solve many problems with appearance: wrinkles, age spots, rosacea, clogged pores, fading, skin fatigue, dryness, loss of elasticity. Promotes rejuvenation, accelerates the appearance of results when using aids.

• Vitamin E or tocopherol. The composition of egg yolk is beneficial for fading and dry skin and works in several directions at once:

1. Rejuvenates. The cells are regenerated, tissues are tightened, blood circulation and color are improved, wrinkles are smoothed, the tone is increased, aging is slowed down;
2. Soothes. It acts as an antidepressant for the skin: a blush appears, the membrane walls become stronger, the tired appearance of the skin gives way to a fresh and rested skin;
3. Removes toxins and protects cells;
4. Heals inflammation, acne, rash, reveals black spots:
5. Whitens and evens skin tone.;
6. Moisturizes;
7. Treats. It is a good prevention of skin diseases; relieves itching, rash, redness, peeling, allergic reactions;

• Vitamin PP or nicotinic acid. This substance is one of the most important in the structure of enzymes that provide cellular respiration. It almost does not enter the body with food, so the skin begins to "choke" and grows old. Masks with "nicotine" expand blood vessels, improving blood circulation, normalize the blood supply to the epidermis and ensure the outflow of excess fluid from the tissue. As a result, the skin remains young longer and less prone to edema;
• Vitamin D. It is designed to prolong the youth of the epidermal cells and significantly slow down the aging process of the skin;

• Vitamins of group B. It is extremely important for the female body. The lack of vitamins of this group leads to the appearance of dermatitis, early wrinkles, the defenselessness of the skin before the influence of negative environmental factors; complexion becomes pale, with a "earthy" shade.
• Composed of egg yolk play an especially important role B12, folic acid or vitamin B9which is necessary in the fight against skin imperfections and is actively involved in the renewal of cells.
• No less useful AT 4 also known as choline. It performs the most important function of a “building material” for cell walls and membranes. A lack of vitamin B4 makes the cells fragile and dehydrated, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes more quickly wrinkled, the clarity of the oval face is lost;

• Potassium. This useful mineral is responsible for the water balance of cell membranes.Its disadvantage is one of the main causes of dryness and flaking;
• Calcium. Necessary for the skin as well as for nails and hair, as it is an integral part of their structure;
• Iron. It is necessary for the skin of the face for normal oxygen metabolism of epidermal cells. Iron deficiency leads to a lack of oxygen, and this has a negative effect on youthfulness and elasticity of the skin;
• Phosphorus. Protects skin from hypersensitivity;
• Melatonin. Active member of cell updates at night. This “sleep hormone” helps the old cells recover, contributes to the “construction” of new ones, fights wrinkles and age pigmentation;
• In a smaller amount are present: beta carotene, biotin, selenium.

Despite the fact that it contains 4 times less nutrients than the yolk, it consists of 90% waternecessary for the cells, and the composition of the protein is rich and beneficial to the skin. It includes:

1. Amino Acids;
2. Enzymeswith bactericidal, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties;
3. Vitamins: retinol, tocopherols, D, group B;
4. Minerals: sulfur, iodine, zinc, selenium, calcium and potassium, phosphorus, iron.
