If you don't want to use egg.As I am pure veg.and I don't use egg so I use oil like olive or almond oil instead of it.If you feel you can use curd or yogurt too.

 ♢ For Glowing Skin -
Take chopped pieces of papaya and squeeze the juice out of one orange and add it into it.
Make a paste and apply the papaya fruit face pack.
