Nov 17, Yogurt for the skin
Mon, 11/17/2008 - 16:57
A really good facial mask can not only clear out and tighten up your pores, but make your skin look radiant. I have long loved masks and have a new favorite. And the good news is, you can have it too, probably without even leaving your house. That's right, you whip it up yourself!Simply mix together one tablespoon plain organic yogurt with one teaspoon organic extra virgin olive oil. Pat onto skin, avoiding the eye and mouth areas, and allow to dry. If your skin feels irritated or starts to burn at any time, rinse immediately. Yogurt is a great exfoliant and can irritate super sensitive skin, although it has not bothered mine (and it is super sensitive!). Once the skin has soaked up the mixture go ahead and rinse off with warm water and a soft washcloth. Your skin will be plumped up and glowing.
I wouldn't use this mask more than a couple of times per week, and be sure to make a fresh batch each time you use it. Follow up with a cooled chamomile or green tea bag toner, if you like.
