Cilantro Yogurt Mask

Cilantro Yogurt Mask

This creamy mixture of cooling cilantro and soothing cucumber can help to calm upset skin. Yogurt acts as a gentle cleanser by exfoliating the skin with natural lactic acid. Honey adds a touch of moisturizing benefit to the mix, making this a great treat for skin that has been dried out or irritated.
