Reduce Pores and Oil with Yogurt

Excess oil and large pores can be a pain to deal with. With so many different facial treatments on the market, how do you know which one to choose? Instead of making yourself suffer from product overload choose the more “green” solution and use something you may already have in your home: yogurt.

From Quick Guide: Yogurt 101
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Plain Yogurt
  1. Step 1

    Begin by cleansing your face and patting your face dry with a clean towel.

  2. Step 2

    Take the plain yogurt from the refrigerator and open the container.

  3. Step 3

    Take a spoon and scoop one to two tbs. of yogurt into your hand.

  4. Step 4

    Apply the yogurt to your entire face with your fingertips, making sure not to get too close to your eyes. Allow the yogurt to remain on your face for 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Once the appropriate time has passed, gently rinse the yogurt from your face with tepid water.

  6. Step 6

    Once rinsed, pat your face dry and continue your regular regime of applying your regular skincare items and makeup.

Tips & Warnings
  • Wait until the last minute to remove the yogurt from the refrigerator because it should be chilled when it is applied.
  • The Zinc in yogurt can also help reduce acne.
