How to Make Yogurt as a Facial Mask

Soothe your face with a natural yogurt treatment.

Yogurt is not only good for food consumption, but also as a moisturizing face mask. Yogurt contains a high amount of lactic acid, which can help refine pores and exfoliate the skin. Yogurt doesn't contain any harsh ingredients or chemicals. Honey has long been used in beauty treatments. It is a moisturizer and is suitable for sensitive skin, so it's the perfect ingredient for a facial mask.

Things You'll Need

• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
• 2 teaspoons honey
• Cucumber

Instructions

1. Cut off about a quarter of the cucumber and save the larger portion for something else. Peel and slice the small piece and remove the seeds. Mash or puree the cucumber.

2. Combine the yogurt and honey in a small bowl. Mix in the cucumber until the ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Leave the mixture on your clean face about 15 minutes and then rinse well with warm water. Gently blot dry with a towel.

Tips & Warnings

• Apply this mask two to three times a week to rejuvenate dry skin.
