As I was eating a cup of Greek yogurt a few days ago, I thought to myself, "why not try making a Greek yogurt facial mask?" After all, yogurt contains lactic acid and zinc, which has anti-aging properties and can help keep skin clear.

As I started making my mask, I decided to also incorporate honey, which has the ability to retain and absorb moisture, and vitamin E oil, which can ease dryness and reduce redness. It's safe to say that this facial mask does my skin wonders!

After using this mask a few times, I have noticed that my skin complexion is so much brighter and healthier looking, so I decided to share this DIY beauty recipe with you! Read on to learn how you can make your own Greek yogurt facial mask:

 What you'll need:

• 2 teaspoons plain Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons honey
• Contents of one vitamin E capsule or 3 to 5 drops of vitamin E oil

How to:

Step One

In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, honey, and vitamin E together until well blended.

Step Two

Using clean fingers or a brush, apply the mask evenly to your face. Depending on the dryness of your skin, leave it on from anywhere between 5 to 15 minutes.

Step Three

Rinse the mask off with warm water and gently pat you skin dry with a towel. Don't forget to moisturize afterwards!
