Eggshell Home Remedy for Itchy, Irritated “Garden Skin”
Lastly, eggshells can also be useful for treating itchy, irritated skin when you come back indoors from gardening. An effortless recipe involves using eggshells and vinegar.
Eggshell Skin Rub
- Clean and dry two or more eggshells. Since you will apply this rub to your skin, sterilize the eggshells by drying them in a 225F oven for 15 minutes.
- Cool, then crush. A powder will work best for this purpose.
- Put the eggshells in a small jar and cover them with apple cider vinegar (ACV).
- Let the mixture sit and soak for three days. It is then ready to use.
- Stir the rub before using it and dab it on itchy, irritated skin.
As with any homemade skin remedy it is best to spot-test this rub on a small area before wider use to be sure you do not negatively react to it. Application to open skin, cuts, or sores is not advisable.
For egg lovers, eggshells are too cheap and available as a resource not to find good reuse for them. With the variety of uses listed here, you’re sure to find an easy way to up your gardening game just by recycling those “incredible, edible eggs.”
