New Night-Time Skin Care Treatment

So in a previous post I wrote about how I over came my acne days which you can check out here. But, we all know that with acne comes acne scars! Sometimes I actually think the scars are worse than the actual spots because if they’re dark they can be super difficult to cover up. So here is a little weekly treatment I use to help lighten up and fade those pesky scars...

What you will need:

- Plain yogurt

- A lemon

- A bowl

- Cotton wool/ face pads

(I used Greek Style plain yogurt just because it was all I had left but this is still really great for your skin)

Plain yogurt is really great for tightening the skin and is also an amazing ingredient to shrink pores. Also, because plain yogurt contains Zinc, it really helps to clear up the skin. The lemon is great for this treatment because it helps to lighten the skin and also has healing properties. It’s like the skincare power couple!

Step 1

For a full face mask I use 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt and a quarter of a small lemon

Step 2

Mix the ingredients together in a small bowl

Step 3

Make sure you have a clean face before application. Use the cotton wool or face pad to apply the mixture to your face. Make sure you take the mixture down to your neck too because it will lighten the skin a bit and you don’t want a darker neck

Step 4

Leave the mixture on for 20 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry with a clean towel

I do this little treatment once a week before bed and so far I’ve seen amazing results! The great thing about this treatment is not only does it help fade the scars, but it also makes my skin look really bright and glowy. I would warn you not to add too much lemon because the first time I tried this it did sting quite a bit but of course it’s up to you how much you think you will need. You can just use this on certain areas of your face but I find that doing my whole face is better just incase it begins to look uneven or patchy. After washing off the mixture you can continue with your usual night time skin care routine.

I would definitely recommend trying out this treatment. Let me know if it works for you : )
