Evening Lemon Yogurt Mask šŸ‹

September 23, 2021

We're clearly big fans of limited ingredient skincare and this exfoliating and moisturizing mask is one to add to your lineup. Plus, chances are very likely that you already have the two ingredients in your kitchen! Grab a lemon and some yogurt for this evening's happy skin moment. Both lemons and yogurt contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) thatĀ are super beneficial for your skin's health :)

Ā 

The lactic acid in yogurt isĀ an AHA that helps slough off spentĀ skin cells for smooth and moisturized skin, while the citric acid in lemons is anĀ AHAĀ that is gently exfoliating, evening out skin tone and soothing inflammation.

Ā 

What You Will NeedĀ 
3 tablespoons plain or greek yogurt
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
stirring utensil
small mixing bowl
makeup brush (or clean fingers will do!)
Ā 
Process
mix yogurt and lemon in small bowl
apply to face (with a friend? apply each other's masks for mini spa feel)
set timer for 15-20 minutes, perfect amount of timeĀ sit silently with your thoughts, or doodle with watercolor paints or read Marlee Grace'sĀ 167 things to do alone after the sun goes down
~~~
As with all exfoliating rituals,
we suggest using the lemon yogurt
mask monthly, weekly, or seasonally,
and pleaseĀ apply this face mask
in the eveningĀ as AHAs can increase
your skin's sensitivity toĀ sunlight.Ā 
Depending on amount used,
and level of gloopiness,
youĀ may want
to apply when
soaking inĀ 
tub :)Ā
