You probably already know the health benefits of eating yogurt, but did you know it can also act as an effective acne treatment? In fact, applying a yogurt mask a couple of times each week can keep your skin glowing and healthy without having to spend tons of money on products containing chemicals and preservatives. This makes yogurt a popular choice among natural home remedies for acne.
When using a yogurt mask to treat skin affected by acne, it's
important to only use plain white yogurt with live cultures. Always avoid using
flavored or sweetened types of yogurt to treat your acne.
Yogurt contains lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that effectively smooths dry or rough skin. Yogurt masks also effectively dissolve the dead skin that builds up in your pores.

Additionally, plain white yogurt contains high levels of
zinc, which helps in the skin's healing process and can effectively reduce
scars resulting from acne.
When using yogurt masks to treat your acne, it's
best to add a dash of skim milk to your mixture before application.
Once you have your yogurt and milk ready to apply, rub the substance into the areas of your skin affected by breakouts until your skin absorbs most of the yogurt. Let this mask stay on for about thirty minutes before washing with lukewarm water.
