While this blog and its writer are on holidays in Sweden, here it is a quick post from Stockholm. We’ve just found out how Swedes keep their good-looking appearance. It was very surprising to know that the recipe is actually old and simple.

Lanolin-Agg-Tval soap is mainly made of eggwhite based on a traditional homemade recipe which has been passed from generation to generation over centuries. The  instructions tell us to use the soap once a week. The foam should be smoothed on the face and neck for over 5 minutes. The result – we tested – is really close to what the product promises: “glow skin soft to the touch”.

The best of it is the price, around 2 euros each. But  it can also be found on Amazon.com for 18,50 dollars a box with half a dozen eggs – ops – soaps.
