Korres Natural Products: yogurt for your face?

***Best Beauty Gifts***

Yogurt is one of my all time favourite snacks. One of the major highlights of any European trip for me is to actually eat as many different types of yogurts as I can get my hands on.

I’ve definitely tried the occasional yogurt mask in the past after hearing of the hydrating benefits … but this is the first I hear of a yogurt face cream.

It’s true that most North Americans are unaware that yogurt is an ancient healing remedy that goes back centuries. In Greece, yogurt is known for its ability to instantly soothe the skin by delivering increased moisture to the upper levels of the epidermis.

After opening a homeopathic pharmacy in Athens with smashing success, Greek’s most international cosmetic company, Korres Natural Products, has made its way to North America.

They’ve been selling their revitalizing cream like crazy and they’ve recently opened a store in New York City, located at 110 Wooster St.

Why is Korres so popular?

Just in case you didn’t know, yogurt is a natural source of lactose, proteins, vitamins, and minerals … all of which will provide instant hydration and relief to dry and sensitive skin.

One of the reasons that might explain this huge success is the fact that it took Korres Natural Products over three years of meticulously formulating their skin care line in order to preserve the live cultures (naturally found in yogurt) as intact as possible. This ultra-soothing cream contains full-fat Greek yogurt and not a dehydrated or emulsified version of yogurt.

If you don’t have a chance to visit the Korres store located in New York City, you can still find many spas across the U.S. and Canada that sell the Korres Yogurt Cream 1.35 oz/36.26 g.

You can also buy Korres Yogurt Cream 1.35 oz/36.26 g at Sephora stores or on Sephora’s Web site.

The 40ml/1.35 oz jar of Korres Yogurt Cream 1.35 oz/36.26 g retails for C$36/US$29.50.
