Probiotic-rich kefir isn’t just an amazingly healthy beverage—it makes a terrific facial masque too! After all, your skin has its own unique microbiome, and it can only benefit from the introduction of all the friendly flora found naturally in kefir.
Kefir is also rich in AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), which exfoliate dead skin while stimulating collagen production to reveal your freshest complexion ever. Honey, avocado, and olive oil add calming and moisturizing properties, so your face will feel revitalized and take on a dewy glow.
It only takes a minute or so to whip up a batch of this wholesome beauty treatment, and within less than half an hour people will be asking what your secret is to looking so great!
This moisturizing facial recipe is perfect for those with normal to dry skin. If your face is oily and prone to breakouts, simply eliminate all the ingredients except the kefir to bring out your most beautiful clear skin.
