Why Honey And Yogurt?

Honey works like a natural humectant (1). It keeps the skin hydrated, ensuring your face is moisturized. Honey acts like an anti-microbial agent too. Apart from these, when you face has burns or cuts, honey can be used to cure it. The best quality of using honey in your face mask is that it goes with any type of skin. It is suitable even if you have the most sensitive skin. Also, honey binds all other ingredients in the face mask well.

Yogurt contains lactic acid, which refines your skin pores. It also exfoliates your face and produces collagen. Collagen connects tissues. Like honey, yogurt too is applicable for all skin types.

Since the two main ingredients of this face mask are suitable for all skin types; there is a Do-It-Yourself recipe for each one.
