How to Use Curd For Skin Care

Yogurt For Skin Care

Any Indian meal is incomplete without a bowlful of curd. Whether taken in solid or liquid form (lassi or chach), curd is a great cooling agent for our bellies. No wonder, curd or yogurt makes our stomach and gut glowing with happiness when consumed on a daily basis.

The best part is that yogurt for skin is great too. We recently posted on benefits of curd for health and beauty. Since it has loads of calcium, carbohydrates and proteins, it works as a good moisturiser for dry and chapped skin. Even when you are down with redness, skin acne and pimples, yogurt proves to be a brilliant remedy in reducing skin breakouts.

Now keep your fancy creams and lotions away and start using curd as a home remedy.

Sunburn relief

Summers are a big problem for dry and sensitive skin, causing sunburn. Just apply a bit of curd over your hands and face and you will notice the harsh bites of sunburn vanish off. Better still, you can add few chamomile drops to curd to get a cool soothing fragrance.
