Why add flour to yogurt mask

Increase the viscosity of the yogurt mask to prevent it from leaving residue everywhere after being applied on the face. After adding flour, the yogurt mask can also better contact with the skin on the face.

Yogurt is liquid. If you apply it directly on your face, it will not be stable and will flow everywhere. Therefore, you need to add flour or pearl powder when making a yogurt mask. Of course, if you use mask paper to soak in yogurt, you don’t need to add flour.

Flour itself is in powder form. After absorbing water, it becomes very sticky and can adhere well to the skin.

The mask itself should have beauty effects. It is a purely natural substance that can nourish human skin and cause less irritation and damage to the skin.

Can I use yogurt mask if there are red blood streaks?

Cannot be used. The reason why red blood streaks appear on people's faces is because the skin is too fragile and too sensitive. Yogurt is irritating, and if used on skin with red blood streaks, the red blood streak phenomenon will become more serious.

There are two main reasons for the formation of red blood streaks. One is congenital red blood streaks, which is generally caused by genetic factors. Another reason is that improper postnatal care causes damage to the skin. No matter what the cause of the red blood streaks is, it means that the skin's stratum corneum is fragile and the skin can no longer withstand damage.

Yogurt does have the effect of caring for the skin, but the acidic substances and beneficial bacteria in yogurt are a burden to sensitive skin.

After applying the yogurt mask on the face, it can remove dead skin and kill bacteria on the skin. This is itself irritating, and the yogurt mask is also corrosive. If used on sensitive skin, it will aggravate the problem. It is better to use milk mask for sensitive skin.

That’s all about the yogurt mask. The flour is added to reduce the fluidity of the yogurt mask. Skin with red blood streaks is inherently fragile and is not suitable for using a yogurt mask. It is better to use a milk mask instead.
