Why This Mask Works

Plain Yogurt contains lactic acid, a gentle alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates dead skin cells, tightens pores, and delivers a natural dose of probiotics to balance skin's microbiome. It's also deeply soothing and anti-inflammatory — perfect for irritated, acne-prone skin.

Baking Soda acts as a mild physical exfoliant and helps neutralize excess acidity on the skin's surface. It gently buffs away buildup and helps unclog pores without harsh scrubbing.

Together, they create a powerful yet gentle mask that calms redness, reduces breakouts, and leaves skin feeling soft and refreshed.

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons plain, unsweetened yogurt (full-fat or Greek yogurt works best)
1 teaspoon baking soda
A small bowl and spoon
A clean face brush or fingertips

How to Make It

Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat dry.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt with 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
Stir until you get a smooth, creamy paste.
Apply an even layer to your face, avoiding the eye area.
Leave on for 10–15 minutes.
Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry gently.
Follow immediately with your Plant-Based Retinol Alternative Serum — apply every night after the mask for best results.

The Complete 30-Day Clear Skin Routine

2–3 nights per week: Apply the yogurt & baking soda mask for 10–15 minutes, rinse, then apply the serum.
Every night: After cleansing, apply the Plant-Based Retinol Alternative Serum to your entire face. Consistency is everything.
After 30 days: Most customers see a visible reduction in breakouts, clearer pores, and a more even skin tone.

"Use the mask 2–3 times a week, follow with the serum every single night, and within one month you will see a real difference. Clear skin is possible — naturally." — Dr. Rashel Pouri

Dr. Rashel's Pro Tips

Patch test first — apply a small amount to your inner wrist and wait 10 minutes before applying to your face.
Use the mask once or twice a week — over-exfoliating can disrupt your skin barrier.
Apply the serum every night — this is where the real transformation happens.
Always follow with SPF during the day — exfoliation increases sun sensitivity.
