How to make your own Egg Oil


Egg oil is a natural cosmetic product that you can make at the comfort of your own home. It contains various vitamins such as lecithin, lutein and triglycerides. Egg yolks have been used for centuries as a cosmetic product. It is often used as an emollient and moisturizer in commercial products. Its nutrient content also gives it anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Finally, egg oil is a potent skin conditioner.

Unfortunately egg oil is not available in stores as there are very few commercial producers in the world. You might want to also stay away from unknown producers because you’ll never know how the oil was produced and they might contain chemical preservatives. You can make your own egg oil instead.

Yay! First Post!

Basically, I have nothing to do with my life so I've decided to blog it. 

Weird huh?

Anyway, my name is Chester and I'm kind of excited to start this blog. This is my attempt in brushing up my skills in writing because I have been lax this past few years. I've spent so much time in rural areas and writing nurses' notes that I've seen my skills in English get rusty. Hopefully, writing articles in my own blog will at least hone my skills again.

As you can see, this blog is still so empty. I'm hoping to fill this up once I figure out what I'm going to be blogging about..

I do appreciate your comments and suggestions but let's keep it at constructive criticism shall we?
