We all know how healthy yogurt and walnuts are for our insides, but have you used them for skincare? They are both items that are always in my kitchen, if they're in yours too, you have it made!
Did you know that during medieval times, walnuts were considered a medicine? A potion containing walnut leaves was used to treat muscular aches and pains and walnuts were believed to soothe the digestive system.
Later, in the 16th and 17th centuries, herbal treatments became official medical practice under the "Doctrine of Signatures," and various plants were prescribed due to their resemblance to a particular body part. Hence, the walnut, with its visual likeness to the human brain, was used to treat head ailments, boost intellect and calm emotions. It's no surprise to me that the regal and delicious walnut comes from an ornamental tree that is highly prized for its beauty.
Your skin thrives on vitamins A, D, and E, all commonly found in milk and yogurt. Did you know that you can slather yogurt on your acne daily and the rich zinc content will help to clear your skin? Yogurt adds enzymes and oils to the skin, working as a natural moisturizer and it can also reduce pore size and improve overall skin texture. It goes without saying that you should avoid the flavored varieties and apply yogurt only after you've removed all make-up.
Try this recipe and see if your skin isn't just glowing afterwards!
