Homemade Yogurt Face Mask Recipes for Glowing Skin (with Pictures)

13/11/2018 //  by Dima Al Mahsiri//  36 Comments

It could be hard to find one ingredient that you can use for treating most of your skin issues, do you think so?

Think again!

I have found the magical ingredient that has always been my number one choice for most of my skin issues, and that is YOGURT!

Back in the time when I was in high school, I used to use Greek yogurt face mask recipes for exfoliating my skin, and it always made my skin smooth and glowing. Not only it removed all dead skin cells but also moisturized my skin.

What is Greek Yogurt?

According to Wikipedia:

Strained yogurt, Greek yogurt, is yogurt that has been strained to remove most of its whey, resulting in a thicker consistency than unstrained yogurt, while preserving yogurt’s distinctive sour taste.

Why is Greek yogurt good for your skin?

According to Dr. Whitney Bowe, a New York City dermatologist, “acne, eczema, rosacea and even premature aging — can be addressed by incorporating topical probiotics”; thus applying a yogurt face mask could help to restore the healthy balance of bacteria on the surface of your skin, and boost hydration.

Other Benefits of Yogurt for health and Skin include:

  • Having a yogurt a day helps prevent Osteoporosis and reduce the risk of high blood pressure.
  • Thanks to probiotics (the good bacteria), yogurt promotes a healthy digestive tract.
  • Yogurt is great for your skin, as it contains lactic acid (one of the most popular alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs)) it exfoliates your skin, which helps get rid of dead skin cells, reduces fine lines, and fade age spots.
  • If you spend a long time under direct sun rays, yogurt will help cool down your skin after excessive sun exposure and soothes sunburns.
  • Because of its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, yogurt can be used to fight acne.
  • According to this study, yogurt, which is a natural source of probiotics,  may provide benefits for skin health, when used both topically and orally.

When it comes to applying yogurt on your skin, make sure you use plain and organic yogurt without any additives. Additives may irritate your skin, especially if your skin is dry or sensitive. And if you would prefer making your own yogurt at home, watch this video.

 

 

Depending on the ingredients you add, you can make yogurt face mask for exfoliating your skin, moisturizing dry skin, and much more. And by regular use of one of the following recipes, I assure you that you will achieve the glowing skin you are looking.

 

Greek yogurt face mask recipes

Greek Yogurt Face Mask Recipes for Skin:

1. Sun-damaged skin Face Mask Recipe

Years ago, when I used to go outdoors in the midday, my skin used to turn deep red. My mother always told me that I should use yogurt mask to cool down my skin. Since then I developed the habit of applying it for 15-20 minutes then rinse with warm water, it has a cooling effect and helps reduces red blemishes.

Dr. Oz suggests adding blueberries: ” Remove the damaged surface layers of your skin with a facial mask of yogurt and (approximately 12) blueberries. Mash together; apply to face and leave on for 15 minutes then rinse. Blueberries contain vitamin C and E to help heal skin, and the lactic acid in yogurt is an effective exfoliate.”

3. Yogurt Face Mask Recipe for Fading Age Spots.

Lactic acid, which is an alpha hydroxy acid, is also known to prevent premature aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots on face.

When asked: How can I fade age spots? Dr. Oz answered:

“Eggplant can help fade age spots. Make a face mask by blending 1 cup of eggplant, skin on, with a half-cup of yogurt. Apply to your face for at least 20 minutes. You should look for results to show up in about 10 days.Age spots – or sunspots – are pockets of melanin caused by sun damage. There are many ways to treat age spots on face, but one great at-home remedy is plain Greek yogurt face mask. Apply it directly on to the spots then let it dry for about 15 to 20 minutes. The lactic acid in the yogurt helps lighten the spots. Repeat this every three days until the spots have noticeably faded.”

One of the easiest Greek yogurt recipes for fighting age spots on face is:

Honey and Greek Yogurt Face Mask Recipe:

I use this one, it exfoliates my skin and reduces the appearance of age spots.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon of honey

Directions: Mix ingredients and apply on face, leave it on for 20-30 minutes then rinse with warm water.

For a simple and cost-effective way to smooth out wrinkles, you can use banana, honey, and yogurt face mask:

Banana, honey, and yogurt face mask recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 a banana
  • 1 teaspoon of honey
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

Directions:

Mash 1/4 banana and combine with a teaspoon of honey and 1/4 cup of yogurt. Spread over face and let sit for 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water and gently pat dry.

4. Yogurt Facemask for Acne-Prone Skin.

The probiotics in yogurt (live active cultures) treat eczema, and since it is rich in zinc, it is ideal for the acne- prone skin.

Lemon and yogurt face mask recipe for acne-prone skin:

Yogurt-and-lemon-face-mask recipe

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice.

Directions:

Mix ingredients, apply on your face, leave it on for 15 minutes then rinse with warm water. Yogurt along with lemon juice removes the excess oil on your face and opens the pores.

Yogurt is one of the most delicious options on breakfast, and because it is loaded with nutrients, it makes a great healthy snack during the day,too. Your skin also can benefit from it. So, next time you have yogurt on your table, make sure to slather some on your face!

These are only a few examples of Greek yogurt recipes that you can easily make at home. Do you know other yogurt face mask recipes? Tell us about it in the comments.

    Love these masks. I’m going to try the Greek yogurt suggestion to see if it will help fade my hyper pigmentation & sun damage. Should I do it once every 3 days, or for 3 days in a row? Sorry, justvwasn’t sure I read it right lol. Thanks!

      Hi Allison,
      There are no rules when using homemade masks, you may repeat this every three days until the spots have noticeably faded.But you can use it more frequently (3-4 times a week) if you have oily skin, and less frequently ( 1-2 times) if you have sensitive skin.It all depends on your skin type.

    The very crux of your writing while sounding reasonable initially, did not settle well with me after some time. Somewhere throughout the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer unfortunately only for a while. I however have a problem with your jumps in logic and you would do well to help fill in those breaks. In the event that you can accomplish that, I would definitely end up being amazed.

    A face mask should be added to your skin care routine. A great face mask will help add hydrate dry skin or remove excess oil from your skin. There are many options of face masks you can purchase, or you can make your own from items in your pantry.

    Hello Hira,

    Yogurt is a great exfoliator, but remember to moisturize after exfoliating since exfoliating removes the outer skin layer that protects the underneath layers.

    Some really nice suggestions Dima. I knew yoghurt had some good qualities but I didn’t know it could be used to treat so many different skin types. I’ve heard of the oatmeal, honey and yoghurt face mask before. I think it is quite a popular and you are right in saying that it helps cooling down your skin. I think it is great buying products that work for your skin but sometimes just using what you have lying around the house and making your own masks can be more beneficial. You can pamper and look after yourself in the comfort of your home.

      You are right about using homemade masks for pampering yourself. I am very picky when it comes to over the counter beauty products, unless I am sure that it is 100% natural.
