  • Are anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antioxidant
  • Improve skin hydration and elasticity
  HONEY
  • Kills germs and bacteria on the skin surface 
  • Reduces inflammation and swelling
    YoGURT
    • Lactic acid soothes and softens dry, itchy skin
    • Moisturizes and rejuvenates skin
    • Tightens wrinkles, refines pores
