YOGURT FOR BEAUTY


Good Morning girls, I love yogurt and I think most of you do too. Yogurt is an excellent cleansing, softening as well as binding agent. It is suitable for all skin types, hence we can combine yogurt with many other ingredients to form various combination of masks.

* Yogurt combined with tomato pulp serves as a good astringent, therefore is great for oily skin.

* Yogurt and mashed/pureed cucumber has a toning and freshening effect. Also whitens the skin and works great as a pre-party mask.

* When yogurt is combined with crushed parsley leaves it makes an excellent mask for combination skin.

* A mixture of yogurt and honey works well as a powerful moisturiser for dry skin.



* Yogurt in combination with egg white irons out wrinkles, whitens and softens the skin. Best suited for oily and combination skin types.

* Yogurt can be combined with equal parts of fuller's earth/multani mitti and fresh mint juice. This mask is effective against pimples/acne, best suited for oily acne-prone skin.

All yogurt based masks must be first washed off with warm water and then finished off with a splash of cool water. Hope you all like reading this and get benefitted by yogurt. Yumm... how much I love it :D Have a beautiful day ahead. Thanks :)
