Community AnswerYogurt can be used by itself for a gentle exfoliating mask. You could add turmeric, cocoa (not the kind for hot chocolate), coffee/tea/oatmeal (either prepared without add-ins to make a mask or ground to make an exfoliator), oils (coconut oil might clog your pores, and make sure with essential oils that you use a few drops), or maybe even some matcha if you have some!

QuestionHow long should I keep plain yogurt on my face for acne?
Community AnswerDepending on how much yogurt you put on, a thinner layer will dry after about 10 minutes but an excessive layer will last for 30 minutes. When you rinse it off, you should find that your face looks a bit better, because at the very least, the yogurt calms down the skin with its coldness.
