Plain Yogurt

I use plain yogurt- no specific brand- but I like to use organic. add in a big tablespoon of honey- regular clover honey works just fine... I slather it on my face in a good layer and leave it on until the mixture feels dry and a bit tight- You can refrigerate the unused portion and use it for up to a week or so- for max efficacy. I have used this the last three nights- b/c I messed with a couple inflamed pimples and left them very red and flaky- oops :P This has taken down the redness amazingly and gently exfoliated the flaky skin- Amazing! It has even faded some older post acne spots! Try it- esp. if you have picker's remorse and have something important coming up and need a quick fix- It is ok to use it nights in a row w/out any side effects- it actually helps more the more you use it :) Best of luck!

So, as all these other reviews state, yes plain ol' yogurt does wonders for the skin. I, however, like to mix it up a little: 1. Dissolve a few uncoated aspirin in water and then add the yogurt and mix. This mask works just as great because aspirin is a strong natural form of alpha hydroxy acid (found in most acne products). Aspirin goes deep into pores, clearing them out and also does a good job as an exfoliator. So the two products combined = even better. 2. I sometimes add a little bit of turmeric powder to plain yogurt. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory, so it takes care of the redness, bumps, and fights off infections. This mask also makes skin dewey and glowy!

:) I have been using this mask for now 2 months (since 9/26/10) and all I need to say is that if you have acne and want to get rid of it without damaging your skin use this. Here is my daily routine, i don't have ONE pimple: [my face had 3 pimples by week 3, in week 4 none!!!] Morning - wash face w/ Dannons plain yogurt Afternoon- wash face w/ Dannons plain yogurt, then put on plain organic yogurt (another brand - oikos plain organic) Night - put on pure emu oil. WEEKLY - Once a week I exfoliate manually using brown sugar and extra virgin olive oil. I stay away from any chemical(any over the counter/prescription w/ ingredients you cannot read) products (acne washes, toners, moisturizers [you need to moisturize, i use emu oil]) ^ = an acne free face. you don't need prescriptions or difficult diets :) Good luck. Btw ; i used to have severe acne. this also gets rid of the hyperpigmentation (brown marks) if they were severe i'd say in 1 year your face will be flawlesss, if they were moderate in 2-6 months. it's been 2 months and mine used to be VERY bad almost severe and they are almost invisible now, just a few more months and ta - da! :D wish you all the best.

I've been using Dannon's plain yogurt (use only plain!!) for about a month. My acne had already gone down thanks to Dan's BP (discontinued due to the fact that BP is bad for your organs..etc) but my face was still full of acne. Using this daily has gotten rid of about 95% of it and my red/dark marks are so much lighter it's unbelievable. Before I normally had about 30 pimples on my face, right now I have 3. :D <3 [I have used it in conjunction with emu oil at night and washing my face w/ likas papaya soap; I also do many home remedies during the week. such as an ice facial(google it and look at michelle phan's video on youtube.] So just try it, it's not gonna break you out and you have nothing to loose. Good luck :)

i really like using yogurt as i just massage it all over my body. i add a little turmeric powder into it which helps reduce the melanin and is also an antibiotic. yogurt i ideal for make up removal. it also helps to reduce skin peeling during winter.

I've been using the Greek-style yogurt mask (naturally set) for about 3 weeks; everyday. Here's the result : - I realised that my redness has been GREATLY reduced the next morning - by the second week, there's a marked improvement in the severity of my acne - it is smoothing - moisturizes the skin Application:- My formula - 1 tbsp of plain yogurt - 1 tbsp of honey 1) combine mixture, and apply to face 2) let it sit for 15 minutes 3) then wash it off * Note: For dry skin, use an extra tsp of honey. For oily skin add a few drops of fresh lemon juice. ( Not tested, but is mentioned in several websites ). Voila, you've got smooth glowing skin, the natural way!

i started using this 2 weeks ago and its faded my PIH ALOT. its also done SOME for my acne but hasnt 100% cleared it. idk if im using the right kind of yogurt. im using lowfat activia and ive figured out that the peach flavor works best. idk if it would work better if i used plain whole fat yogurt though. but i massage it in before bed, wait for it to dry, go to sleep, and wash it off in the morning. its pretty easy to use, doesnt get on my pillow somehow, and washes off pretty easily. i think that my hyperpigmentation will probably be gone in about a week at the rate that its fading :) i hope it works for you too!!

I used organic unflavored low fat Stonybroks farms yogurt and it is super calming, especially because its cool!

I'm now curently 14 going on 15. I used to have flawless skin and nvr broke out. All I had to do was get a towel wet it up with water and wash my face. Now I c how lucky I was lol. When you first break out your not used to it. Its like you can have a few and think the world is about to end. My face was fine with a few zits and I went to the point where I tried acne free right away: It was terrible. I didnt break out from it, but my face became puffy and inflamed. I stoped using it and went to natural things like my Mom said in the 1st place. Grrr y is she always right. She suggested yogurt and I just luaghed at the fact. I still looked it up from desperation, and wat do u know it was there. I was quick to put it on and left it on all night. I woke up looked in the mirror and it seemed to be half way better. I was amazed. Things I have tried are baking soda- terrible; makes skin texture rough and awful. Tea tree oil- ok, but after a while stops working. Tooth paste- Horrible, they turn red and irritated. I always go bck to yogurt. ---->PLEASE NOTE: 1 major thing is that b4 you apply the yogurt you should use a face wash, and not just soap lol. I am using something cheap for now- which is noxzema the original. It works perfect for me, and has nothing harsh. Benzyle peroxide gets ride of both good and bad bacteria so after a while your face goes crazy with making more bacteria. Like I was saying, putting yogurt on your face not clean could make it worse from my experience. When I started using it with the noxzema I noticed a faster and better improvement. I am pretty much clear now, but I am going to kick it up to ordering lerosett. Check out the web site its 100% natural and sounds awsome. Until it comes my routine is simple. Wet up my face and apply original noxzema. I do this twice to get it rlly clean. After that I let my face dry then apply yogurt. I leave it on pretty much the whole day. Then in the morning rinse it off. If u r going out with yogurt add water.

Great mask once a day. Wow. I hope you can share the delight of a yogurt mask with me
