Tools and materials:

  • Double cream plain yogurt

  • Water 
  • Bowl 
  • Spoon
Double cream plain yogurt

1. Add double cream plain yogurt 

Add 2 teaspoons of double cream plain yogurt to a bowl. Make sure to use plain!


Yogurt adds moisture to the face and it also helps brighten the skin. In this case, we are using it as a brightening agent.

2. Add turmeric 

Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder to the bowl of yogurt. 


Turmeric is my absolute favorite ingredient. It is very good for the skin. It contains antioxidants as well as anti-inflammatory components. This helps glow and revive your skin by bringing out its natural glow.

3. Add honey

Add 1 teaspoon of pure honey to the mixture. Honey is very good at removing impurities, moisturizing the skin, and bringing out the natural glow of your skin.

4. Add bicarbonate of soda 

Add 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. 


You really need to be careful with this step because bicarbonate of soda can irritate the skin. Do a small patch test before adding this ingredient to the mix to make sure that your skin will not get irritated. 


Bicarbonate of soda helps remove dead skin and soothe inflammation.


Never use more than 2 tablespoons in each mix. 

Adding water to the mixture

5. Add water 

Add a splash of water to the preferred consistency. About 2 teaspoons worth of water, depending on how thick or runny you want it.

    How long do I leave the mixture under the arms?

    This makes me feel sad that society doesn't accept you for what you are. All of you is beautiful including your underarms!

    As a caucasian person I've never even heard of this. But at least you will never suffer from sad, wrinkled arms like this old white lady has.
