Yogurt is an incred­i­ble nat­ural sub­stance, and its skin ben­e­fits are well-known. My Lithuan­ian grand­mother, who had beau­ti­ful skin, told me that it is a com­mon skin treat­ment for women there (and in Rus­sia, as well) to use sour cream or yogurt on their faces to soften and even out the skin tone. She was right! Yogurt is also one of my secret weapons, and I would like to share with you exactly what it does and how to use it.

Yogurt Skin Care Treatment

{BENEFITS}
Pre­vent and treat blem­ishes, soothe irri­ta­tion, even out skin tone, lighten dis­col­oration and dark spots, exfo­li­ate dead skin cells, brighten dull and dry skin, bal­ance skin pH

{INGREDIENTS}
1 Tbsp. organic, grass-fed cow or goat yogurt — plain, unsweet­ened, no added thick­en­ers or stabilizers

{DIRECTIONS}
I use it once or twice per week (some­times more often), usu­ally right after a shower. Put 1 Tbsp. of yogurt in a lit­tle dish. Use the spoon to put a dol­lop of yogurt onto your fin­gers, and apply to your face and neck (chest too, if you’d like). Leave on for 5–10 min­utes, max. Rinse off with luke­warm water and a splash of cool water. I like to fol­low up with cham­pagne toner and then jojoba oil to moisturize.

If you try this treat­ment, let me know how you like it!
