Do not ever miss to get the benefits of yogurt if you want a smooth and silky body. The good fat in yogurt naturally nourishes, prevents drying during winter and the mild acids bleach tan. Yogurt also balances pH levels on skin and does alot good if applied frequently. Take a look at the yogurt recipes for beautiful and shiny skin.

Yogurt Recipes For Winter Skin Care

1. Body Scrub: To a bowl of yogurt, add a teaspoon of powdered sugar, turmeric and aloe vera gel. Turmeric works like an antiseptic, sugar helps in scrubbing and removing the dead skin cells. Aloe vera soothes skin. Even oatmeal powder can be added to yogurt and used as a scrub.
2. Yogurt Body Pack: To a mixture of multani mitti/ green clay, add yogurt and rose water and mix it to thick paste. Apply the yogurt recipe all over the body (specially arms, legs and stomach as they are more visible). The homemade face pack should be massaged on knees and elbows to lighten up the skin and prevent roughness.
3. Yogurt Lotion: Combining yogurt with a teaspoon of the fragrant essential oil and applying everyday before bath will protect skin damage, dryness, redness and will maintain skin silky and glowing.
4. Yogurt Body Mask: The natural body mask is prepared by adding grated carrots (carrot juice), saffron, honey and yogurt. The body mask is gently applied on body before bath and taken bath after it is dry. The yogurt body mask makes skin silky soft and glowing.
5. After Shave Cream: Yogurt with cucumber juice is an excellent after shave solution. Just applying the paste after shave and rinsing with water will cool the skin, feels fresh and cures the burning sensation. The yogurt recipe can have another additional ingredient – mint to work as an anti bacterial.

These yogurt recipes work simply excellent on all skin types.
