KISS : Natural Skin Peel

Some of you may have heard of the great benefits a chemical peel provides. Smoother, glowing, brighter, plumper, more even toned skin. But what some of you may not know is that there is an alternative.....right in your refridgerator. Yogurt, yep you read correctly, YOGURT provides the same benefits as a chemical peel, without the harsh chemicals. Yogurt contains lactic acid, a natural alpha hydoxy. It's less harsh on the skin,great for any skin type, even sensitive skin.Granted yogurt does not provide the quick benefits as a chemical peel, you will get the same results with continous use.

You MUST use plain yougurt. either organic or regular full fat. I use lowfat Stoneyfield orgainic yogurt. I'm going to switch to plain full fat, I hear you reap more benefits.

The application is simple: Cleanse your skin as you normally do at night, allow your skin to dry then slather about 1 tablespoon all over your face (your neck is optional, though you shouldn't neglect it) be very careful around your eye area. Leave it on your face for approximately 15-20 minutes, rinse it off and follow with a moisturizer. You will be left with VERY smooth skin. If you have large pores they will be minimized and your face will be brighter and more firm. I read that it also fades dark spots in the long run, which is a plus since I have a few stubborn spots I'm trying to fade. This mask should be used about once a week.

Do not hesitate to try this, it really works. I have informed many on this method, they absolutely love it.
