How can you include curd face pack to your skin care regimen? Curd has amazing ingredients that are beneficial when ingested or applied externally.
Why Should We Use Curd?
- Exfoliates your skin with lactic acid which helps slug the dead skin cells revealing younger looking skin
- Natural bleaching agent helps lighten skin
- Mild astringent helps prevent black heads and pimples
- Alpha hydroxy acids helps to control excess sebum and hence prevents acne

- Renew your skin and improve complexion with probiotics and vitamin D
- Calcium helps lock moisture and prevents dehydration
- Reduces lines and wrinkles with Zinc as it increases cell turn over rate
- Moisturises your skin with Vitamin B and proteins
- Promotes collagen production because of the presence of vitamin B2,B5,B12
Isn’t that amazing? 🙂
If you do not have time just slather plain curd. It will rejuvenate your skin giving it a heathy glow. Over time, you will see improvements in your skin tone and texture. It is perfect for a budget anti aging skincare routine.

- In case you are using lemon juice in your face pack, keep it for less than 10 minutes.
Although you can use lemon juice face pack daily, it may make your skin more sensitive over time. Hence do not skip using sunscreen so as to prevent further damage.
If possible, use homemade curd. Recipe at the end of the article. 🙂
I am not sure about the quality of store bought packets. I have used that on my hair during my college and PG stays but never on my face. So i do not know how the store bought curd would fare on different skin types. 🙁

How To Make Curd At Home?
- Milk- 1L
- Curd-1 tablespoon
Boil one litre of milk. Let it cool down. Add one tablespoon of curd to it and stir. Remember not to add more than 1TB of curd. Let it sit for 6-12 hours depending upon the climate. This recipe will give you thick set curd.
If it is summer, it may take only 6 hours to make curd. While in winters you may have to let it sit for 10-12 hours.
Once it is done you can refrigerate the curd for later use.
