There are a lot of positives to using honey and yoghurt on your skin that we brought to you in our previous article. If you haven’t gone through it yet, check it out here. A honey and yoghurt skin mask is a nourishing and healthy way of giving your skin the treatment it needs.
These ingredients have their own separate benefit, but together they make an exceptional combination. Did you know that before antibiotics were discovered, honey’s antibacterial properties were used topically to treat cuts and burns? The fact that both these ingredients are packed with multi-vitamins make them all the more useful for a face mask. If you’re thinking of DIY facemask, honey and yogurt need to be your star ingredients!
It doesn’t matter what type of skin you have—there’s a DIY recipe out there for you that incorporates both.
- Calming Mask (for irritated skin)
– ½ cup of plain yoghurt
– 2 tablespoons Aloe Vera gel or juice
– 1 tablespoon honey
– ½ peeled cucumber
– A few drops of chamomile oil
Mix everything in a blender. Leave on face for 10-15 minutes.
- Moisturizing Mask (for dry skin)
– 2 tablespoons plain yoghurt (the fattier the better)
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1-2 tablespoons cooked & cooled oatmeal
Mix everything together until it forms a smooth paste. Spread over the face and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Wash off with a warm washcloth.
- Cleansing Scrub (for dull skin)
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 teaspoon plain yoghurt
– 2 tablespoons finely ground almonds
– ½ teaspoon lemon juice
Mix everything together. Rub gently onto face for 1-2 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
Honey has natural healing properties that can help calm your skin and promote faster recovery. The lactic acid in the yoghurt helps calm any skin type.
As you can see, it’s super easy to make these mixtures and treating yourself to a homemade mask is a great way to unwind after a long day. The benefits of Honey and Yogurt on your skin vary greatly and will give you the gorgeous, glowing skin that you dream of. Make your own DIY face mask today and show your skin the love it deserves!
