What’s more, you can apply yogurt on other parts of the skin as well to help whiten any darkened areas.
#7 – Toning
If you have an uneven skin tone, you’re not alone! It’s definitely not uncommon. So whether you have age spots, sun spots, or acne scars, applying yogurt to your skin can help make your skin tone look even. This is probably thanks to the naturally occurring probiotics in yogurt.
#6 – UV protection
Yogurt doesn’t only help reverse spots caused by sun damage, but it can also help diminish the effects of UV rays before they get to cause any harm to your skin.
Research suggests that yogurt may help establish a sort of barrier that neutralizes free radicals to protect your skin, thus lowering the risk of developing wrinkles and spots caused by sun damage.
#5 – Enhanced elasticity
As we get older, our skin starts to lose its natural collagen, which is a protein that provides the skin with structure and elasticity.
Clinical studies found that yogurt may promote extra elasticity in the skin. This also means preventing elastosis, or loss of skin elasticity, which causes the skin to look crinkled or saggy.
#4 – Diminished wrinkles and fine lines
An enhanced elasticity can also help turn down the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. In fact, the probiotics found in yogurt may help prevent common signs of aging. This means that a yogurt mask can be the best face mask you can apply to fight wrinkles and fine lines. (you’ll find recipes at the end of this article.)
#3 – Fighting acne
The probiotics in yogurt can make many health improvements all over your body, including fighting the bacteria responsible for acne, which is a primary cause of inflammatory acne lesions.
Researchers have found that probiotics can cut down overall inflammation, meaning it can also help you get rid of acne as well as prevent potential breakouts.
