Egg on your face

The reason poultry farmers’ wives commonly have such wonderful complexions may have become apparent.

A fashion magazine, named Look (we hadn’t heard of it either), has been waxing lyrical about the cleansing power of albumen.

Apparently, “egg white’s naturally sticky superpowers mean they’re great for grabbing onto dirt” – something anyone who has collected floor eggs from a free-range unit could attest to.

The article goes on to say having egg on your face may not be such a bad thing after all. Certainly not at £19 for 150ml.
