A reader of this blog asked,

i have pimples and a lot of marks on my face
i dont know how to get rid of the marks though
i wanted to make sure if using yoghurt is a good idea

thanks

I didn’t actually have the idea that yogurt is used to prevent acne until this question was raised up. Doing my research, I’ve found out that there are actually yogurts especially formulated for acne treatment.

Here’s what I found out. Yogurt is a great moisturizer and helps soothe red spots and pimples! Yogurt has lactic acid which softens, and tightens the skin and refines the pores. Its high nutrient content and natural antibacterial and antifungal properties also get rid of germs and other bacteria. We know that one of the causes of acne is clogging up of dirt in your pores which serves as friendly environment for bacteria.
