Natural Benefits:
The B6 vitamin-rich yeast in yogurt will stimulate blood flow, while honey's antibacterial properties disinfect the skin. For guaranteed freshness, use the application immediately and let it sit on your face for a few minutes before rinsing.

Yield: 1 application

Ingredients:

  • 20 grams of powdered brewer's yeast (If using tablets, grind before mixing)
  • 2 teaspoons plain yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons almond meal
  • 1 teaspoon *Manuka honey

Instructions:
Combine and mix ingredients. Use scrub immediately, and do not store in the refrigerator.

*Manuka honey, made by bees feeding off the same bush that provides antiseptic tea tree oil, is heralded for its healing properties, but you can substitute other honeys.
