Simple steps for a do it yourself soothing yogurt mask

Our skin can sometimes show the ravages of weather, health issues or tiredness. A yogurt facial mask can rejuvenate tired skin, and bring out a naturally healthy glow.

Here is an easy to make, inexpensive yogurt facial that will do wonders for your skin and keep your checkbook happy too.

The ingredients needed are:

2 tablespoons thick plain yogurt.
2 drops chamomile essential oil.

A tip to remember is if the yogurt is runny, just strain through a piece of cheesecloth. Bottles of essential oil can be found at Community Pharmacy, Whole Foods or Willy Street Co Op, and though the initial purchase may seem a bit pricey, the bottle of oil will last for a long time.

Directions on making the mask:

  1. Mix yogurt and chamomile essential oil.
  2. Smooth onto face and neck using gentle, upward strokes.
  3. Leave mask on for 15 minutes then gently rinse off using tepid water.
  4. Pat dry, then smooth on moisturizer.
