An egg wash does not soak into the dough as it bakes but stays on top of the surface. The egg cooks in a very thin layer giving the shininess of the egg to the baked goods. One characteristic of cooked egg is shininess although we rarely notice that in ordinary cooked eggs.
A common alternative ingredient to create a shiny finish on baked goods instead of egg wash is milk or cream.
The main difference between using a milk wash and an egg wash when preparing baked goods is that a milk wash gives a lighter color and softer texture to the crust, while an egg wash gives a shiny, golden-brown color and a crispier crust.
The best way to give a golden shine to baked goods is by applying an egg wash, which is a mixture of beaten eggs and liquid brushed onto the surface before baking.

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Washes should be applied with a brush. An egg white wash will make it shiny. An egg wash with the yolk left in while make it golden and shiny. For scones or tea biscuits (American usage) milk or cream may be used simply to make it brown.
