If you're looking for a cure-all, fix-all type of face mask, this Vaseline and egg white mask truly is for EVERYTHING! And by everything we mean it will treat acne, random breakouts, dull skin, dry skin, oily skin, aging skin, and even reduce the appearance of acne scars, dark spots, and sun spots. Seriously, if there's ONE mask you try this week it should be this Vaseline and egg white face mask – you won't be disappointed! So is Vaseline good for your face? The answer is absolutely yes!
The reason we love this Vaseline face mask is because it's so simple to make and requires the most of basic ingredients: Vaseline, egg white, and a little lime or lemon juice!
What's even better is that after just one use, you'll notice brighter, softer skin, and, when used on a regular basis (2-3 times a week) can cure a multitude of things (see above!). Applying Vaseline on face does something truly magical – it brightens dull skin, softens, and adds a beautiful glow that works for all skin types, even sensitive skin!
Eggs for face problems is another amazing way to rid the skin of dirt, impurities, and blackheads. Raw eggs are packed full of protein and minerals, and when used on a regular basis have the ability to tighten the skin and prevent premature aging.

Vaseline: also known as petroleum jelly, protects skin (acts as a barrier), and helps to seal in skin's moisture. Also helps skin retain water which makes it a great ingredient to fight wrinkles! Applying Vaseline on face will leave your skin super soft and silky because of its moisturizing properties as well as give it a really beautiful glow.
Eggs: packed with protein, egg whites tighten, aid in regenerating cells, and purging pores. Makes for the perfect skin cleanser as well!
Lemon juice: acts as a natural bleaching agent helping to reduce the appearance of scars, dark spots, and age spots. Also detoxifies skin, cleanses, and acts as a toner.
You'll Need:
- 1 tbsp Vaseline – if you don't have Vaseline, you can substitute for aloe vera gel
- 1 egg white
- a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice (preferably organic if you can!)
Directions:
- Separate the egg white from the egg yolk.
- Whip up the white just until a little frothy and add the Vaseline and a few drops of lemon juice.
- Apply the mask to a cleansed face and neck and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes or until completely dry. Your skin may feel a little tight, but that's completely normal.
- Rinse off and pat dry.
- Use 2-3 times a week!
Overnight Egg White Face Mask
You can even use this egg face mask overnight to really purge pores and do a deep cleaning and skin tightening! This Vaseline and egg white mask won't clog pores, and is gentle enough for sensitive skin types. Use on a regular basis to rid the skin of blackheads, breakouts, and prevent dryness and sagging.
Other Amazing Ways to Use Vaseline on The Skin
- Another great way to improve the health of your skin, is to put Vaseline on your face before bed. Just a small amount is all you need to hydrate dry skin, and wake up with the most amazing glow you've ever had!
- Massage Vaseline into your hands and cuticles before bed and wake up with hydrated, soft cuticles. This will also strengthen the nails and promote growth.
- Apply a small amount of Vaseline along the lash line and on your eyebrows to encourage hair growth. Vaseline is packed full of nutrients and vitamins which can prompt faster growth.
- Use Vaseline to remove stubborn makeup. It's a cheap, safe alternative to commercial makeup removers and it does an incredible job!
- Apply all over body as a moisturizer. Vaseline has incredible healing and hydrating properties, so it makes for a great body lotion. Apply immediately after getting out of the shower for maximum results.
- Got an uneven tan? Vaseline can actually help tone skin! Simply apply all over affected areas in slow, circular motions.
- Vaseline helps to lock in moisture, so the more often you apply Vaseline to the face, the more hydration you'll get!
Notes:
As with everything, please test a small patch on your arm to make sure you are not allergic to any ingredients. If you feel any discomfort, pain, or see any irritation, please discontinue use. Wash off with lukewarm water and pat dry. Do not use if you have any cuts, scrapes, or open sores. If you have sensitive or dry skin, feel free to leave out the lemon or lime juice.

How can I blend Vaseline with other ingredients?
It depends what you are trying to achieve. For the most part, Vaseline can be used just by itself as a simple moisturizer!
When making this homemade product is it ok to use the real lemon 100% juice from concentrate with added ingredients?? If we don’t have the lemon on hand?
Hi Tunuun,
I always recommend you use freshly squeezed lemon juice, but if you don’t have that, you can also use juice from concentrate.
Great recipe, thanks for sharing! Love using vaseline and the added egg really steps it up a bit!
How does this mask work for over night ?
Hi there!
If you’d like to use this mask overnight, just follow the same instructions, except leave it on overnight. So before bed, make sure to thoroughly cleanse the face of any dirt and makeup. Then, prepare the mask and apply it to cleansed skin. Leave the mask on, and get some sleep! In the morning, remove the mask using lukewarm water. Your skin should feel nice and soft in the morning 🙂
How I use the vaseline and the egg morning and night
Hi Blessing,
The vaseline and egg white mask should only be used 2-3 times a week. It is a face mask, and not a nightly cream, so you shouldn’t use it every day. Let us know how you like it 🙂
Hi
Can I pls use the mask and my regular face cream
How you use it morning and night?
Hi Chris,
I wouldn’t recommend you use this twice in a day – 2-3 times a week is more than enough 🙂
Can i rinse my face with soap after putting face mask?
Hi Loulou,
Yes, you should definitely wash your face after removing the face mask, but don’t use the same soap you use to wash your hands. That type of soap is only meant for your hands. The skin on your face is much more delicate, and regular soap can dry it out. Instead, use a facial cleanser 🙂
Hi, I have cocoa butter Vaseline so would I be able to use that?
Hi Dani,
To be honest, I’m not sure about that since I’m not familiar with it, but you could certainly give it a try!
Okay I tried it with the cocoa butter Vaseline and I’m sure it worked just fine and I also added some bio oil to help with the scars
I’m glad to hear that Dani 🙂
Can the mask be kept and used another time after mixing
Can children use it to enlighten their skin
I wouldn’t recommend this for children.
Thanks for sharing
So scary… I used vaseline for years… I felt I looked totally amazing until I realised the petroleum was literally frying my skin in the daylight and that as a result, some really deep frown lines had formed on my forehead, a growth had to be removed from my nose and dark sun spots that are still with me to this day. Never one to learn… I’ve started using egg whites overnight acouple of times recently, and again, have received nothing but compliments… but on reflection… You see, as a home cook, I’ll add fats, oils, butters and eggs washes… Read more »
We’re so sorry to hear this has happened to you Elizabeth! The fact of the matter is that everyone’s skin reacts completely differently to different ingredients, and it sounds as if your skin had a sensitivity to petroleum jelly. Hope all is well now!
Does this mask also clear acne pores??
Hi Ariana,
It can definitely help 🙂 Just be sure to use it once or twice a week for best results.
I just wanted to leave a warning to others in the discussion- you are NOT supposed to put lemons on your face- so please do a recipe without lemons always
