Here’s What You Can Do with Egg Shells

Don’t throw away your eggshells. Rich in minerals, they are very useful in the garden and at home by effectively replacing green sponges.

It’s amazing what you can do with eggshells! Did you not know that? Here are 6 tips that will make you see empty shells in a different way!

1 – A NAIL STRENGTHENER

Are your nails damaged, dull, or not growing properly? To strengthen them in a 100% natural (and free!) way, it’s simple: crush an eggshell (which you have washed before), and mix it with your varnish. When you apply it, your nails will automatically be strengthened. Magic !

2 – TO PROTECT YOUR PLANTS FROM APOSE ROT

Wondering what eggshells are used for in the garden? This is another use for eggshells in the garden. This is a great way to provide them with extra calcium carbonate. Scatter crushed eggshells around the plants in your vegetable garden. This tip is particularly effective for tomato plants and cucumbers (these plants are predisposed to blossom-end rot).

3 – TREAT SMALL SURFACE WOUNDS

The membrane present in the eggshell is a very good dressing for your small superficial cuts. It is naturally antimicrobial and will help healing. Peel off the membrane, cover and let dry.

4 – HOME CLEANER

By crushing dried egg shells, mixing them with a little water and soap you will obtain a natural and effective abrasive for cleaning pots, plates and even floors and counters!

5 – FOR THE FACE

For a great natural exfoliant, mix 2 tablespoons of eggshell powder with one egg white. Apply to face, leaving to act for 10 to 15 minutes. Wash with lukewarm water, using rotating motions to exfoliate.

6 – CLEAR YOUR TIRED PIPES

To clean your pipes and improve drainage, you can easily recycle your eggshells. To do this, grind them and mix them with soap and hot water.
