Yogurt and Honey Mask

Yumm!! This recipe makes for a great desert on its own but as we shall see it is just as good on our face as it is in our tummy.

Yogurt Benefits
Yogurt has natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties making it great for treating acne and blemishes. Lactic acid is also an important component of yogurt which helps tighten pores and slough off dead skin cells leaving your face with a fresh glow. It's mild bleaching properties help to smooth out skin tone and help treat discolorations and age spots.

Honey Benefits
In my post about the aspirin and honey mask I talked about the benefits of honey for our skin so if you need a refresher go check it out!

Yogurt and Honey Mask

1Tbsp. Plain Yogurt

1/2 Tbs Honey

Combine yogurt and honey in a small container. Apply the mixture to your face and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. Rinse off. Store the left over mask in the fridge and use within two weeks.

As the mask dries it will have a tightening affect on the skin which is normal. If it gets too uncomfortable you may rinse it off before 5 minutes. As always begin with a test spot behind your ear to make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients.This is not a mask you should use habitually or leave on longer than 10 minutes because of the skin lightening effect. However, this is a great mask to help rejuvenate lifeless, dull-looking skin.

Enjoy!
