1. They give you glowing skin.

You've heard of using egg white as cheap face masks. This time, try mixing in some crushed eggshells. Prevention says that the mild, abrasive qualities of the eggshells will scape dead skin cells, revealing baby-like soft and glowing skin.

2. They can keep your cuticles from being dry.

Eggshells with the membrane still attached to them have healing effects. Membranes contain hyaluronan, which relieves dryness. If your cuticles are dry, painful, and are peeling off, crack some shells and tape them on until the shells feel dry. By the following day, your cuticles will feel softer.

3. They can clean some of your hard-to-clean stuff around the house.

Collecting vases, or maybe, you have a lot of thermoses, jugs and bottles around the house? Hard to clean, right? Well, crush some eggshells, put them into the containers, mix in some dishwashing liquid, and swirl. The shells scrape away whatever dirt there may be inside them.

4. They make your morning brew better.

Reader's Digest suggests saving one or two eggshells and crushing them. Adding the crushed eggshells to ground coffee before you brew will make your morning cup sweeter. One teaspoon will do. Alkaline calcium carbonate in the shells is a natural acid neutralizer, making the taste smoother and easier for your tummy.

5. They can keep your pet healthy.

Yes. Crush eggshells into fine powder and mix them into dog food or any other food you have for your pets. As they are rich in calcium, they fortify your furry friends' diet, keeping them strong and active.
