Yogurt Masque

Hey guys!
I think many of you know about the popular yogurt face masque and it's endless benefits for your skin.
So I've been doing the Yogurt Face Masque this past week and I can say for sure, that I'm seeing really good results. 

I've been using it everyday this past week. Just plain organic greek yogurt (be sure you buy just plain yogurt. Flavoured yogurt contain all sorts of weird ingredients that you do not want on your face) and slather it all over my face and neck.

My acne scars are getting noticeably less visible and my skin feels so smooth and plump. Even after the first use.

A lot of people add honey and/or a few drops of lemon to enhance its use, but I like to keep it to a minimum and just slather the plain yogurt all over my face.

What yogurt is good for:
  • Contains lactic acid (softens skin, reduce wrinkles, and moisturizes dry spots)
  • Rich in zinc (good for acne ► calms your skin)
  • Lighten acne scars

How I use the masque:
  • Wash my hands and face before use (with luke-warm water)
  • Place about 2 tsp. of yogurt in a small bowl
  • Use my hands (or you can use a brush) to spread the yogurt all over my face (don't be afraid to go a little overboard and slather thick layers on your face)
  • Wait for 10-20 minutes before rinsing with luke-warm water
  • After all of the yogurt is gone, I like to splash cold water all over my face and neck to close my pores
  • Use moisturizer to lock in all of the added moisture (I use Jojoba Oil as my moisturizer)
And that's it. I'll update you guys on how it's going next week

UPDATE:
Yeah, I was too lazy to update haha but here it is.
I can truthfully say that my acne scars have lightened on my cheeks (it may be because I use this in conjunction with my pure vitamin E topical spot treatment), not to mention my face feels super soft. Most of the blackheads on my forehead have diminished completely but there are still quite a few on my nose. Pimples have been calming down.

UPDATE 2/09/12:
It's been a month and I can safely say that my acne has calmed down a lot. I only have a few active ones but I still have many bright red pigmentation left by the acne. The blackheads on my forehead have not come back and there's still a lot on my nose.
