More Budget Beauty Goodness from the Fridge

I recently discovered a wonderful beauty trick while reading up on natural skin care and herbal preparations.  It's so brilliantly simple, and tasty too.  Yogurt. Plain, full fat yogurt has so many benefits to skin; I wish I had learned this years ago!

Yogurt is chock full of nutrition for the skin.  It contains calcium, zinc, and minerals, as well as fatty acids that not only hydrate thirsty skin, but aid in exfolliation to boot.  It's like youth serum  in a tub.  Ok, not really, but a weekly treatment can go a long way to maintaining a youthful glow.

One to two times a week, apply a thick layer of yogurt to your face, neck, and any other places needing a little attention, and let it sit for about 5 minutes.  Then, take a washcloth and gently wipe in small circles to complete the exfolliation.  Rinse, and Voila! Smoother, more hydrated skin for mere pennies per treatment.
