Yogurt masks for healthy and radiant skin

Face masks are one of the easiest and best solutions to getting beautiful skin. One such DIY hack is a yogurt face mask. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking to get shiny and glowing skin. Let’s understand what exactly the purpose of this everyday kitchen item.

EXFOLIATES THE SKIN

“Yogurt contains lactic acid, which may aid in cleaning, exfoliating and increasing skin cell turnover. Plus, lactic acid does not cause skin irritation when eliminating dead skin cells, according to a 2015 study published in the Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research,” says cosmetologist and trichologist Dr Meera Adhikari.

DELAYS THE SIGN OF AGEING

Using yogurt regularly may slow down the signs of ageing. According to a study published in Science Direct Journal, yogurt includes bioactive peptide fractions that have antioxidant effects. These characteristics aid in the fight against free radicals, which would otherwise hasten the ageing process.

BRIGHTEN THE SKIN Yogurt has lactic acid which prevents the formation of tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that produces melanin, which darkens your skin tone. Yogurt can improve your skin tone in this way, as per a 2003 study published in the Experimental Dermatology Journal.

HELPS TO REDUCE ACNE

As yogurt contains zinc, it helps to keep acne at bay, resulting in glowing skin. A study published in the Europe PMC Journal shows that zinc can help to treat inflammatory acne.

COMBATS SKIN INFECTION

If you want to get rid of a skin infection, then using a yogurt face pack can be an excellent choice. Yogurt has antifungal characteristics, which may aid in the fight against fungal skin infections, according to a 2015 study published in Science Direct Journal.
