There is a long tradition of using dairy products to promote healthy skin and to treat a number of skin problems. Earlier people made their own recipes at home but lacked understanding why it worked. Today we know that yogurt for example contains Probiotics, bacteria that promotes healthy skin.
Today there are many recipes for face masks, scrubs and soaps containing yogurt or some other dairy product. All these recipes you can easily make at home.
Use organic products whenever possible
Your skin absorbs everything you put on it, no matter if it's good or bad, nutritious or harmful. And whatever your skin absorbs enters into your bloodstream and can affect your whole body. Organic products should be our first choice since, on the average; levels of harmful chemicals are much lower but the concentration of vitamins and minerals higher.
If you can't get organic products, then get your ingredients as fresh as you can. Some ingredients, as herbs and vegetables, you can also grow at home.
