If you want to indulge in a creamy snack but don’t want all of the sugar and calories that most food under this category packs, then you should certainly go for a healthy yogurt.
Using Yogurt Face Masks for Your Skin
Quite similarly, if you want a beautifying face mask without the unknown and sometimes harmful chemicals that some beauty essentials incorporate, then you should try the following yogurt face masks…
Sweet Honey and Yogurt Mask
Is your skin dull? Are you suffering from dark spots that just don’t seem to go away? Then try this sweet and simple yogurt mask variation. Here are the ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. yogurt
- 1 tbsp. honey
Combine the ingredients, and apply on your face and neck, paying particular attention to blemishes. Leave it for 15 minutes or so before washing with warm water.
With its various nutrients and antioxidants, yogurt offers you a smoother, plumper, and more youthful skin.
On the other hand, honey is proven to soothe the skin, reducing inflammation and diminishing dark spots when used regularly.
To get more out of this natural mask combo, you can try blending pureed fruits such as bananas, lemon, and berries, all of which contain a plethora of nutrients that are beneficial to the skin.
Breakfast Yogurt Scrub
Oats and yogurt are two of the most versatile and healthiest breakfast foods you can ever have. They are also two of the best ingredients to use for a natural mask. Here’s what you need:
- 2 tbsp. yogurt
- 1 tbsp. oats, ground
- 1 tsp. honey
Thoroughly mix the ingredients in a bowl. Scoop some and start scrubbing on your face, gently spreading the mixture in a circular motion. Allow it to set for 10-15 minutes before washing it off with warm water. Use a warm washcloth after to clean any bits of oats left.
The ground oats will help slough away dirt and dead skin cells while the yogurt and honey moisturize your skin.
Chocolate Yogurt Mask Recipe
Another mask that will make your mouth water its dessert-like appearance, this variation requires several ingredients:
- 2 tsp. yogurt
- 1 tsp. cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. honey
Simply mix all the ingredients until you get to a mousse-like consistency. Apply evenly onto your face and neck, and let it set for 15-20 minutes. Wash with warm water afterwards. Moisturize your skin.
The cocoa powder in this face mask has anti-aging elements that will guard your skin from sun damage and diminish fine line.
You can upgrade this mask by adding a dash of pure cinnamon, turmeric, or nutmeg, all of which helps you get fresher, clearer skin.
Some Useful Tips
For these natural masks, it’s of utmost importance that you use full-fat, probiotic yogurt as the fat is where all the awesome live cultures that promote skin rejuvenation are.
Fruit and other flavorings may also cause irritation, so it will be best to go with the plain and unsweetened version.
If time allows, do facial steaming for a couple of minutes to open your pores and allow better absorption of nutrients. Otherwise, opt to clean your face with a warm towel.
As always, make sure to follow your warm rinse with a cold wash of water to seal in the effects of the yogurt masks. Apply some moisturizer after to make it suppler.
