Yogurt is as healthy on your skin as it is in your stomach. Adding it to soap will help keep skin glowing and nourished, and it can be used as easily on your face as your body. Many yogurt soaps also contain essential oils and ingredients such as oat bran or honey to enhance their skin-care properties.
Exfoliation
Yogurt contains lactic acid, which is a mild abrasive to the skin.
Cleansing your face with yogurt soap will give that lactic acid the chance to
penetrate the skin a bit, causing some minor irritation. When rinsed off, the
dead skin and debris sloughed off by the soap will go down the drain, leaving
skin refreshed. Unlike harsher exfoliants, yogurt soap can be used every day,
according to experts at the Natural Remedies for Skin Care website.
Pimple Cure
Yogurt contains a high concentration of zinc, which can help dry
and heal pimples, according the Quick Acne Remedy website. In addition to
washing your face and body with yogurt soap, eat some organic yogurt. The zinc
in particular will help fight your pimples both topically and from the inside.
Healing
Yogurt has antibacterial properties and a high fat content (yogurt
soaps are made with full fat varieties to reap this benefit) that smooth and
quench dry skin. If you have dry skin, use yogurt soap in the shower and
lightly buff the skin with a loofah and rinse with cool water. The yogurt will
help nourish the under layer of skin while you're buffing off dry skin cells.
Apply moisturizer to your skin as soon as you're out of the shower or bath to
lock in dampness on the skin.
