Greek yoghurt has two and a half times the amount of protein compared to other yoghurts. That is why it is considered a superfood all over the world. Protein, whether in the skin products we use or in our diet, helps repair skin tissue, making it more radiant and youthful.
By enhancing your skincare routine with Greek yogurt, you offer the same benefits to your skin that protein offers to your body. You help to nourish, strengthen and repair.
Yoghurt also contains lactic acid. It is an organic compound that helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by tightening and shrinking pores. It also has exfoliating properties that transform your skin from dry and dull to shiny and soft. Rich in vitamin B, yoghurt contains 20 to 30 % of the daily recommended value of riboflavin. This keeps the skin glowing and hydrated and helps in the growth and regeneration of cells.

Use plain yogurt to soothe the skin. The probiotics in yogurt calm the skin by promoting cell renewal by repairing the lipid barrier in dehydrated skin. While it is essentially good for all skin types, a yogurt skin care routine is especially beneficial for those with oily skin. As well as for those who are prone to acne. Its zinc content regulates oil production and acts as a mild astringent. It also has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
As the old saying goes, “you are what you eat”. That’s why including yogurt in your diet improves your metabolism and balances the good bacteria in your system. It also prevents the appearance of skin conditions such as rosacea and eczema. Meanwhile, adding yogurt to your skin care routine helps to hydrate your skin and delay the signs of aging.
