Home Remedy for Acne: Yogurt!

 So I've been experimenting with this one very special thing called yogurt! Not only is it great for your immune system and body internally, but it's great for the skin, too! When applied to the skin, the lactic acid in the yogurt stimulates sebaceous glands, helping prevent and treat acne. The lactic acid also helps reduce redness and destroy bacterial colonies found mainly on hair follicles. :)

I've been using yogurt for a while now, and I have found that it is extremely soothing, moisturizing, and it really is working! The kind I use is the all-natural plain low-fat kind. But very recently, I have found this all-natural kind with honey in it. An added bonus! I will write a post about honey as well, since it is SO post-worthy. Anyway, what I do in order to actually extract all the goodness and benefits from yogurt is dip two fingers into the container, massage it on my face for a little while, and let it dry. Then, I leave it on for a certain period of time. If you're just starting to use yogurt, it's best to leave it on for 15 minutes in the first month, then 30 minutes in the second month, and so on and so forth. Also, since yogurt reduces redness and is very soothing, it's great for sunburns! You can apply it the same way as the facial mask, or you can come up with your own specialized method.

Now, it may take a while to see the results of the yogurt method. What I've seen so for is a reduction of the appearance of blackheads, the prevention of breakouts, and the treatment of redness and blemishes. It could take about three weeks to actually see results, but be patient and don't give up! This is just a small step to achieve great-looking skin! :]

Good luck, and thanks everyone!

Introduction

Hey, everyone! My name is Aspen, and I'm on a quest to solve every skin-related problem!

Basically I want people to feel good about themselves through skin, meaning if you have nice skin, you'll feel good! I've done research and conducted experiments on skin mainly having to do with the face. This is due to the fact that everyone sees the face, even you, and this is when people get the idea that they want to look nice - hence the reason for makeup. But why not look nice without makeup? What if we could all achieve natural beauty and good looks? This is my mission. :)

So, it all starts here. I would like as many of you as you can to post comments on problems you have, relating to the skin of course, and I will definitely do my best to help! I'll add a new post for every problem, and if multiple people have the same problem, I'll try to cover it all in one post.

Thanks everyone!
