Let’s look at the benefits

Dr Rozy Badyal, consultant dermatologist at Kaya Limited, shared that curd contains lactic acid, which acts as a gentle exfoliant, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresher, younger-looking skin. It also has moisturising properties and helps soothe irritation and redness.

Honey, on the other hand, is a natural humectant, meaning it helps retain moisture in the skin, making it soft and supple. “It also possesses antimicrobial properties, making it effective in fighting acne-causing bacteria and soothing inflammation,” she said.

However, it’s essential to consider your skin type, allergies, and individual concerns before incorporating this remedy into your skincare routine.

“One shouldn’t apply this face mask more than once or twice a week. People with skin problems like eczema, rosacea, and dermatitis should avoid using this face mask without consulting a doctor,” said the expert, adding that overuse of this face mask can lead to skin issues like breakout, redness, itching, dryness, and even skin sensitivity in certain people.

Dr Badyal also pointed out that you should always pay attention to how your skin reacts and use it accordingly. “Consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional can also provide personalised recommendations tailored to your specific needs,” she advised.
