    f you are allergic to yogurt, dairy products or alpha and beta hydroxy acids, avoid using yogurt face masks. After application, you may notice a slight tingly feeling. However, if you experience burning or pain of any kind, wash off the mask and consult with your physician before reapplying. These symptoms may indicate an allergy or sensitivity to yogurt's active ingredients or live cultures.

    If your skin feels tight after washing off your yogurt mask, apply a noncomedogenic moisturizer to hydrate and protect skin cells.

    If you have skin allergies to yogurt/ AHA/ BHA, please do not use this recipe. If you put the yogurt on your face and experience a burning sensation over the cheeks, please wash off immediately!

    Apple Oatmeal Face Mask:
    1/2 boiled apple smashed
    One teaspoon of honey
    Two teaspoons of ground oatmeal
    Mix all the ingredient until you get an uniform mixture, apply on the face for ten minutes and wash carefully afterward.
    The oatmeal is good for pimples, it also absorb the excess oil on the skin. The acids in the apple remove the dead skin cells and clean the pores. The honey works as an antibacterial ointment that destroys bacterium, that can cause infections.
