You know something's good when it's sold in packages of 12. Eggs are incredibly versatile, and so this is my ode to those slimy insides that make breakfast worth waking up for.

If your hair has been lacking that extra something-something lately, worry no more! You don't have to shell out the major bucks, but break a few eggshells instead!
Eggs are rich in proteins that are very similar to those found in our hair, and so make great conditioning and strengthening masks. Try beating an egg (or a couple yolks if your hair is especially dry) with a bit of olive oil, and apply to your hair once frothy. If you want to smell less like an omelette, and more like you've just come home from the salon, add a couple drops of a scented oil. Leave on for about 20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water.
Fun tip: If Fido's coat has also been lacking luster, add a scrambled egg to his food every week. Your pets will love this tasty treat, and they'll be turning heads at the dog park in no time. As always, raw eggs are off limits, because they could be contaminated with salmonella.
Let's move this eggy beauty regimen south of the hairline to your face. Egg yolks and whites both have valuable qualities on their own for your skin, so there are a couple different facial treatments to do with eggs.
With egg whites, you can make a soothing anti-aging cleanser that smooths the skin. Whisk whites with a little bit of water, and wash over your face. After rinsing off, you should find puffiness diminished, and your pores looking smaller.
Egg yolks are very rich in Vitamin A, which is great for moisturizing. Just as you did with the whites, whisk these yolks with some water and use to wash your face.
If you have a large supply of eggs, perhaps a chicken coop all your own, alternate between these cleansers each night for best results.

One caution is not to combine it with iron supplement. Iron and calcium cancel each other out so you won't get much of either. But, absorption of both is enhanced with vitamin C. Perhaps some orange or cranberry juice with your eggwater would be helpful.
I hope this comment/email finds you well. I recently helped build an infographic about Amazing Egg Facts and thought you might like to use it on your blog/site. Here's a link to the infographic(http://www.jesrestaurantequipment.com/jesrestaurantequipmentblog/amazing-interesting-egg-facts/).
There's code below the IG that helps you post it, but if you need another image size or would like some help, just let me know. : )
Thanks!

IF one has "open" wounds or sores, AND the egg material contains Salmonella, or any other infectuous material, THEN I suspect that you could become infected.
On the other hand, even if the egg material contained bacteria or viruses, BUT the skin to which it's applied HAS NO open wounds or sores, then there would not be a problem.
Not being a medical scientist, this is only a layman's opinionl.
Do you know of any dogs named Fido?
I think the name may have been popular during some past-period, but I can't think when...

See how useful all those art history classes can be : ) ? and by the way. . .egg tempera colors are still made and used.
I love to make things out of natural materials.
Excellent Instructable!

I was stung on the arm, by about 20, very hostile yellow jackets, the cook at our place busted open an egg, separated the white, wiped it on, and Wham instant relief, the next day, you could not even tell I had been stung.... Amazing...
typo.
Either you'll have a nice dinner, or lots of emergency egg snacks :D
