Plain Yogurt

I saw a bubzbeauty video of her doing this sort of thing, and so I wanted to try it out. Let me just say, THIS REALLY WORKS. I have acne on my forehead, right/left of my eyebrows, my cheeks, and my chin. And let me just say that this really cleared up my skin. In about a week of using this, i noticed my skin was REALLY SOFT!! And alot clearer as well. Anyways, I recommend this to people with acne. Good Luck!!! :D

Try it! You've nothing to lose if you follow the directions correctly. -use full fat plain organic natural yogurt. (doesn't have to be Greek yogurt, can be just yogurt) -Try mixing it with sour cream (also natural) which also has even more cultures and therefore higher cleansing and moisturizing. (I like Daisy all natural) -No flavored yogurts (Putting sugar on your face is no good, and flavored yogurt isn't as cost effective. -Try doing this right after a shower, as a shower steams open your pores. -You can mix this with oatmeal's rolled oats for gentle exfoliation when removing it. -Leave it on for 20-25 minutes! -Try to relax when doing it (Relieves stress) -Wash with lukewarm water and DON't use a cleanser afterward. If you do, use a gentle one. You can even cleanse your face with honey. YOU CAN use a light moisturizer, but I don't find this necessary.

I saw a lot of good reviews on this yogurt mask. so i decided to try it... I was impressed on the first 2 days i used yogurt mask only. I bought greek yogurt from supermarket and put it on as a mask. It felt tight and smooth on my face. I washed it off and my skin has never been so soft. It felt like it was a baby's.. But the skin around my lower chin and neck area started to itch real bad but i ignored it. I used the mask for 2 weeks. I thought the softness is good for the acne. My skin was so soft i didnt even need lotion. But THE BOTTOMLINE IS, IT DIDNT HELP MY ACNE> NOTHING AT ALL. IT MADE ACNE WORSE. For people who are not prone to acne, use it once a week or once a month for extreme softness. but if your face is acne prone, DO NOT USE THIS AS MASK OR WASH. .. or perhaps im just allergic to it.. no matter, it really aggravated my pimples anyway...

I love this! I wanted to try it after reading rave reviews about it, so I decided to give it a go. I purchased a big container of plain, nonfat Dannon yogurt. I smeared a thick layer over my entire face and let it dry for about an hour and a half. Rinsed it off with lukewarm water and voila! calmer, WAY more supple, velvety soft and smooth skin :)

I threw all my other skin cleansers in the garbage...yep...You cant go wrong here, unless you are extremely allergic to dairy. I hear goats milk yogurt is even better. Idk, plain chobani works for me or sour cream and Im sure the goats milk yogurt will cost an arm and leg at the health food stores we have. But I wouldn't not try it for that reason, this just works for me. After the first use my skin was soft and the tone was even and smooth. Much less redness. I don't let it dry completely, cause it can be really hard to get off. Let it sit for 20 minutes to see results. My skin stayed oil free for 8 hours! Unheard of for me, I have VERY oily skin...which makes it look young, but its hard to keep clear. Im not going to write a novel but check out this link and it explains exactly how probiotics restore balance to the skin, both internally and externally... Its also just plain recommended to consume yogurt if you are on antibiotics anyway to restore the good flora...which I am convinced is linked to "leaky gut" and skin issues, acne or dermatitis... Do not stop using it because your skin clears up! Most people don't want to stop anyway...Its cheap, its easy, and is so much nicer than harsh synthetic cleansers, which I am convinced begin a vicious cycle...You can buy a huge tub of plain chobani greek yogurt at sams club for less than $4...Use it as a wash, and a mask, dissolved aspirin mixed in will help the absorption process and reduces redness and swelling even more...I also buy the fruit on the bottom and eat those twice a day...Still skeptical? Go to makeup [link removed] and look up the reviews or just google them...

i'm gonna tell you now, i got some BAD acne! you can go to the link below (if it works) or go to my personal regimen logs to see my face. [link edited out] i got the idea of plain yogurt from bubzbeauty on youtube. it was a natural product that she swore by and she has some nice skin and her suggestions have never steered me wrong before. anyway i picked up some plain stop and shop yogurt since it was cheaper than dannon and gave it a go. basically i take a spoonful of yogurt and take my mini blush brush that i bought (though i don't wear makeup so i figure hey might as well use this set for something lol) dip it in the yogurt on the spoon and spread it all over my face. i leave it for 20 -30 minutes and wash with cold water. i do this mask after i have cleaned my face really well. oh my word! it moisturizes my skin, reduces redness and after using it at night my pimples reduced greatly!! the best natural remedy ever (well besides lemon cuz that is good too) this morning i decided to put some lemon on my face, let it dry then add the yogurt mask. (using lemon to help my hyperpigmentation) and i am touching my face now and ahhhh it feels like it has drunk loads of water!!! don't even have to put moisturizer (unless i'm going outside then eucerin spf 30) overall excellent product. it's cheap and huge so it should last you about 2 months. wish it didn't ever expire tho.

I mix a little yogurt and honey together and apply it to my face. My complexion is soooo much smoother looking now.

i really wanted to like this- it's cheap, fun, easy, and has nearly immaculate reviews. i'd been looking for a nice mask to smoothen my skin and hopefully improve my complexion, but yogurt was not the right choice for me. i used plain greek yogurt every other day for about 3 weeks before i threw in the towel. 4 days after stopping, my skin is slowly returning back to normal. hope others have better luck! ps, i have very sensitive combination skin (oily t-zone, dry cheeks)

(Goes good with a sugar hand scrub to complete the 'spa' treatment-- sugar + a little extra virgin olive oil.) I only tried this once with some family and I guess I was not too impressed with the results. We used plain yogurt and applied it in light circles to the face and left it on until it dried. Some things to keep in mind: 1.) When the "mask" is dry, do not scrunch up your face. It might be hard if you think about it or someone cracks a funny joke so try and find a calm and soothing area to do this in. 2.) Depending on your region, the price could be an issue. Look for plain yogurt and, if possible, organic or something along those lines. It might be a little above the average price. It is all up to the user. 3.) I cannot speak from constant use but this seems more of a cosmetic remedy than an acne helper in the long run. The supple and soft skin can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Overall, you can go and try it more than I did and see results for yourself.

When I first heard about this remedy all I could think of was the word: BREAKOUT Then I read up on the effects of yogurt as a skin mask. -The live cultures clean out your pores -Depending on the fat content of the product it can also hydrate your skin (more fat=more water retention) -The lactic acid is a natural exfoliater (Added bonus: when the mask is dry you can also use it as a physical exfoliater) I've all natural (no sugar added!) Greek yogurt as a face mask every 2 days for 3 weeks. My complexion has never looked better. It's definitely something to look into adding into your regiment.
