YOGURT FOR EVEN SKIN TONE

I read this lovely tip from Krishna http://diybeautytutorials.blogspot.com. I felt that this is a useful tip.  

I make yogurt lots of time but it usually goes into my mouth, which is good too, but never thought about applying it on the face.  Now, I know and won't have to spend so much on facial mask from a beauty salon.  Mind you, just a simple or normal facial can cost up to hundreds of  Ringgits. 

Krishna says (excerpt):

"Apply the yoghurt on your face and neck if you want an even skin tone. 

Personal Experience:

I couldn't find any other ingredient better than yogurt that you can use as a 3 in 1 facial mask. It is the BEST one I have tried so far. It has lots of vitamins and minerals that are skin-friendly. Applying on skin will also minimize those huge pores. I use this mask everyday and I see A LOT of difference. So I really recommend it. Its suitable for All skin types.

Research shows, even eating yoghurt helps acne. So stuff your snacks with yoghurt and give your skin a beautiful glow. "
