It might sound strange, but would this work? I use plain yogurt in my daily mask mixture anyways but I was wondering if I could use a thin layer of plain yogurt as a moisturizer.
After I put on a tiny thin layer, once it dries, the tiny layer seems to have dried on top of the skin, would this be still considered moisturizing?
Thanks for any answers!
Organic Marshmallow Root powder works incredibly. Just pick up some distilled water from the grocery store (wal mart sells by the gallon, and SmartWater is also vapor distilled) Use about a cup of water and a teaspoon of marshmallow root powder and shake it up like crazy in a bottle/container. Then let it set for a while before using. The powder literally dissolves and turns to a goo like texture. Amazing for moisturizing the skin
Mountainroseherbs sells organic herbs for dirt cheap. 4 oz of the powder is something like 3-5 dollars. I think starwest botanicals also sells organic herbs as well.

Edit: Sorry, half a cup of water. Or a cup i guess, depending on how thick you want it. It's something to play around with as far as ratio is concerned
I can't say whether its enough for your skin. But topical live cultured yogurt is beneficial for problem skin. The lactic acid is a mild exfoliant. And some of the bacteria strains boost ceramide and peptide production. Ceramides are lipids that keep moisture in the skin, but are also involved in regulating how skin cells are formed, die and exfoliate freely without clogging pores. Acne and other problem prone skin have been found to be lower in ceramides. And ceramides are lowest in winter. I recommend applying the yogurt, then follow with a high linoleic acid containing oil like grapeseed. Linoleic acid is another thing acne (and other problem) prone skin has been found to be deficient. It's a major component of normal sebum that functions as it should.

I think i've asked you this before, but have you tried rose hip seed oil? I've used both grapeseed and rose hip seed, and rose hip seed is ever thinner and absorbed even better into my skin. It's a little pricey though. Something like $18.00 for 1 oz. Or 2 oz. i can't remember. lasts a while though as it doesn't take much to do the job

Not really. I bought some once, but was disturbed about the odor and could never get a straight answer from anyone about whether it should have one. And I'm pretty sure I didn't pay that much. I don;t have any issue with thicker oils. I just apply to wet skin or with wet fingers. In fact, I seem to apply more with the thinner hemp seed oil because so much more pours out of the bottle.

Oh ok. Yeah it has a nutty smell, which i personally like. Not sure if that's what yours was like or not. Great idea to apply to wet skin or with wet fingers, never thought of that.
