Yogurt facial is a great way to enhance and improve skin texture while making it clean, soft, and supple. It’s all about undoing the daily wear and tear caused to the skin, giving it time to relax and rejuvenate.
Facial at beauty salons give us a glow on the face, but sadly the effect doesn’t last for more than a week. Our skin needs consistent, ongoing care rather than once a monthly facial.
Every weekend, a beauty salon facial is too heavy on the pocket, and the products they use also harm our skin, while homemade facial can serve the harmless permanent glowing skin and comes within our budget.
Here’s we share the best yogurt facial at home. Studies proved that the creamy texture of yogurt help to lock moisture in your skin.
STEP-1 Start With Cleansing
The most crucial step is to rid your skin of all the dirt and oil accumulated on the surface. To cleanse your face, take some yogurt, gently massage for 2-3 minutes, and then rinse well with cold water.
Yogurt helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and makes your skin brighten. It also helps to tighten your pores.
STEP-2 Exfoliate
Exfoliation is an excellent way of removing dead skin cells and unclogs pores from within. It helps to make your skin healthy and glowing.
Use DIY scrub and massage gently in a circular motion for 4-5 minutes. Then, rinse and pat dry.
