How to do a Probiotic Face Mask

If you want to try using a yogurt mask, you can try these simple steps for yourself and see what the effects are on your face:

• Step 1: wash you face.  – Of course, before you apply anything on your face, it is always important that you wash your face first with warm water, so that you can wash out the bad bacteria from the pores.
• Step 2: apply the yogurt on your face – after you have thoroughly washed your face with warm water and soap, you can now apply the yogurt on your face. The best kind of yogurt to use is plain, full-fat organic yogurt. Make sure that you apply it evenly so that you get all parts of your face and even your neck. The yogurt will keep the moisture on your face.
• Step 3: leave it on your face – after you have successfully applied the yogurt on all parts of your face and neck, leave it on your face for about 10 minutes. While you are waiting, you can try watching a movie, or you can sip on some wine.
•  Step 4: rinse – after you have left the yogurt on your face for 10 minutes, you can now rinse your face. Make sure to use hot water, so that the pores are again open and you can rinse any remaining particles of yogurt on your face. After you have used warm water, quickly rinse with cold water after wards, so that the pores close.

After you have rinsed your face, it will start to feel very relaxed. Your face will feel tighter, and softer. Now these are thebenefits of probiotic facemask.

Always remember though, that when you want to try this mask for yourself, that you use a thick kind of yogurt, preferably with active cultures, so that you can make the most out of the bacteria.

The active bacteria will give you the ultimate beauty benefit. If the yogurt you have is not thick and it is runny, make sure to strain it first before applying on the face.
