DIY CUCUMBER & YOGURT CLEANSING CREAM





Fun Fact 1: Yogurt has been around for MORE than 4000 years. Besides eating it, yogurt has been used by various cultures to treat hair and skin problems (such as scalp irritations and burns). The lactic acid found in yogurt makes it ideal for natural moisturizing and exfoliation of skin. It also contains a host of vitamins and minerals, keeping the skin healthy. It also does a pretty good job emulsifying excess oils found on skin. 




Fun fact 2: Cucumber is a great ingredient as a cleanser because it is refreshing, cooling, softening, soothing and has healing properties!




Here is an easy, cooling cleansing recipe you can apply on your skin!

What do you  need?

1 1/4 mashed/finely minced CUCUMBER


1Tbsp Plain,unsweetened YOGURT




What to do next?

Combine both ingredients, and mix well!

Now, rinse your face with water and apply the cleanser in a circular motion gently on your face.
Wipe off the yogurt cleanser with a cotton pad and rinse your face thoroughly, pat dry.

Make sure ingredients are in the fridge before/after making the mixture so that when you apply it, it'll be nice and cooling and soothing! :)
