Fro-yo girl here. A friend of mine was kind enough to give me a few tubs of The Body Shop’s Body Yogurt for Christmas. I haven’t been to The Body Shop in years and didn’t even know that they had body yogurt. It seems like their body yogurt was launched last year. The current scents are British Rose, Moringa, Pink Grapefruit, Almond Milk, Strawberry and Mango. The 6.98 oz (198 g) tubs retail for $15 each.
Body Yogurt is 100% vegan and made with organic almond milk from Spain. The Body Shop calls their body yogurt a lightweight, fast-absorbing gel-cream that provides up to 48 hours of moisture. They recommend applying it to damp skin straight after the shower.
The texture isn’t as thick as body butter. It’s lighter and more like a gel-cream hybrid. The texture is actually similar to yogurt. It did absorb right away when I applied it after my bath. A few hours later, I didn’t feel like my skin was still moisturized. The strawberry yogurt doesn’t smell nice. It has a powdery fake strawberry scent, like a cheap candle or lipgloss. The mango yogurt smelled better, like apricot. Anyway, I prefer the body butter because it’s more moisturizing and you can apply it any time.

Fro-yo girl here. I recently found Skin’s Boni Yogurt Bonimini Mud Pack in Green Tea. There was only one left at the store, but you can buy the product online at several retailers. The retail price is $3.99. Skin’s Boni is a Korean skincare brand. The products are made in Korea.
The plastic package looks like a yogurt drink (Yakult) bottle. One package is 15g. It was only half full when I opened it. But I only used half, so you can get two applications out of one package.
Green Tea Mud Pack: It smelled better than most skin care products. The texture was thick. I applied the mud in a thin layer after cleansing and toning. After 15 minutes, the mud had dried and felt very tight on my face. It took quite some time to wash it off with warm water. As I was watching, I noticed some bits that looked like sand. Perhaps they exfoliate? My skin felt tighter, softer, and refreshed. It did seem to draw out the oil from my pores. The product has green tea powder, mud and lactobacillus (a bacteria commonly found in yogurt).
Bonimini Mud Packs come in Green Tea, Charcoal, and Pine Needles.

Fro-yo girl here. On a recent trip to the Grocery Outlet, I spotted Hempz Wild Blueberry Yogurt Herbal Body Scrub for $3.99 (compare at $19.99 elsewhere). It’s limited edition. One bottle is 17 fl oz, 100% vegan, paraben free, gluten free, THC free. The hemp seed oil, shea butter, and essential vitamins soften your skin.
The creamy white scrub is dispensed from the built in pump. I could feel the exfoliating beads. I’m picky about my scents and I did not like the fragrance at all. It smelled like something fake, sweet, fruity and a little floral. Since it smelled awful, I didn’t want to use much. The list of ingredients is very long but doesn’t include yogurt.

Fro-yo girl here. The Crème Shop is a Korean skincare and color cosmetics brand. I’ve seen their masks around for years and then they caught my eye with the Sanrio/Hello Kitty collaboration. They have a wide variety of fusion sheet masks. Fusion sheet masks capture the benefits of 2 masks in 1. One of the fusion sheet masks is Raspberry & Yogurt. Raspberry is supposed to fight off bacteria, while the lactic acid in yogurt gently exfoliates to “reveal a bright and luminous complexion.” The mask also has hyaluronic acid which moisturizes the skin and helps it to retain moisture.
The Crème Shop Raspberry & Yogurt Fusion Mask is made in Korea and retails for $3 for a single use sheet mask. While it’s made in Korea, it’s desiged in Los Angeles. The Crème Shop’s products are cruelty free. You can purchase it from The Crème Shop website.
Raspberry & Yogurt mask: The mask is saturated in liquid. You apply it to clean skin and wait for 20 – 30 minutes. I liked the light raspberry scent. After taking the mask off, my skin felt sticky, cold, and very moist. The next morning, my skin still felt moisturized. It seems like the effect of the mask lasts longer than other sheet masks.

Fro-yo girl here. A sweet friend of mine sent me new gel essence yogurt masks from Pure Smile. The masks are imported from Korea. The thin mask sheet is saturated with a thick gel and contains Vitamin C, glycerin, collagen, yogurt extract, and berry extract.
To use, unfold the mask sheet, place it on your face, smooth it out, and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. After 15-20 minutes, remove the mask and tap the remaining gel into your skin. After I took it off, my face definitely felt moisturized. There was a lot of gel left.
The mask is good for all skin types. It smells like berries and goes on slimy and cold. You can buy the Pure Smile Gel Essence masks online from Alpha Beauty.

Fro-yo girl here. Yes To Superberries is a newish line of products that includes moisturizer, hand soap, skin repair serum, face oil, night cream, eye cream, cleansing wipes, and a variety of masks. All of the products contain blueberries. Most contain Greek yogurt as well.
Yes To Superblueberries products are made with 95% natural ingredients. According to Yes To, “Superblueberries [are] a vital nutrient that contains reservatrol, known to keep skin radiant and youthful.
Greek Yogurt & Probiotics [have] high levels of lactic acid and bacterial cultures [that] balance skin without stripping moisture.”
I found the 3-in-1 Mask, Scrub & Cleanser 4 oz tub at TJ Maxx for $3.99. The MSRP is $15.99, so it was a steal.
To use the mask, you scoop however much you want with the little spoon they include, apply to the skin, leave on for 10-15 minutes, and rinse off with water. As you rinse, scrub the mask to activate the exfoliating beads.
The mask was thick, creamy, and white, with tiny blue exfoliating beads throughout. It smelled like a cleanser; the scent was slightly floral, not like blueberries or Greek yogurt. Like other masks, it feels tighter as it dries out. It left my skin feeling softer and also the exfoliation really helped, since I hadn’t exfoliated in quite some time. I didn’t love the scent though.
3-in-1 mask ingredients: Water (Aqua), Bentonite, Glycerin, Kaolin, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Jojoba Esters, Cetearyl Alcohol, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Betaine, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Lauramidopropyl Betaine, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, Yogurt Powder, Inulin, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Phytate, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Ferric Ferrocyanide, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance (Parfum), Limonene, Linalool.

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Ettang modeling cup masks at Riley Rose at the Glendale Galleria. Maneki Neko also carries Ettang masks. Their face masks come in powdered form in cups. Most of the writing on the packaging was in Korean, so I had to do some online research to learn how to use the mask that I purchased. However, once I opened the mask, there were instructions in English on the inside. The masks were $4 each at Riley Rose. One cup is 17 g.
Each type of mask has a different benefit:
- Acerola: brightens skin
- Chlorella: soothes skin
- Calendula: hydrates skin
- Charcoal: controls sebum
- Collagen: improves elasticity
- Mulberry: smooths and brightens skin
- Propolis: protects skin
- Yogurt: smooths and firms skin
One cup contains enough for one use. You take the powder out of the cup, add water to the cup to the line, add the powder back, and mix it quickly with the spatula that it comes with. It’s easy to transport and use anywhere. It’s too bad you need a separate container for the powder though.
Once you add the water, mix for a minute. It dries quickly, so be sure to apply it quickly. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Peel off the mask and the residue.
The mask has no added parabens or chemical preservatives. It is supposed to shrink pores and leave your skin moist and elastic. It contains rubber.
* Yogurt Cup Pack: The yogurt mask is said to leave your skin smoother, with a bright skin tone and glossy finish. The mask did dry quickly and I couldn’t get all the lumps out. It had little fragrance and applies like a thick paste or glue. Because of the clumpiness, it was pretty ugly once applied. The color was a pale purple. Not all of the mask peeled off easily, so it was messy. My skin did feel softer but just a little.
3 out of 5 stars.

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted Itibiti Yogurt Mask at Candy Doll Beauty in San Francisco’s Japantown. The packaging has an oversized picture that looks like a giant bottle of Yakult, the probiotic beverage. One mask is $3.50.
The yogurt mask does have yogurt in it. It is imported from Korea. One pouch is 25g. It is a mask sheet with cutouts for your eyes, nose and mouth. The packaging says that the mask will make your skin look moist, smooth and flexible. It also improves wrinkles.
The directions are to cleanse and tone, cover your face with the mask, remove the mask after 10-20 minutes and gently pat the face for the remaining serum to be absorbed by the skin.
* Yogurt mask: The mask was heavy, wet, sticky, slimy and cold. It smelled like Yakult mixed with alcohol. It felt cold at first but then it warmed up. It remained sticky and after removing the mask, there was a considerable amount of the sticky fluid left. It was absorbed by my skin when I slept. The mask was very moisturizing, so it did live up to its claims. I wasn’t crazy about the fragrance though.
Ingredients: Water, glycerin, methylpropanediol, yogurt extract, polysorbate 80, hydroxyethylcellulose, adenosine, disodium EDTA, camellia sinensis leaf extract, lactobacillus/lemon peel ferment extract, lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract, pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, sodium hyaluronate, phenoxyethanol, carboner, triethanolamine, fragrance.

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurt is good for the body and it’s good for your skin. The lactic acid in yogurt helps dissolve dead skin and tighten pores.
Ichiban Kan carries face masks, including Pure Smile masks. The Pure Essence Mask Yogurt Series Plain is made in Korea and manufactured by High & High, Inc. of Tokyo, Japan. One mask is 0.8 net fl oz. and sells for about #1-$1.50. The yogurt masks are available in Apple mango, White grape, Mix fruit, Strawberry, and Plain. The milk bottle packaging is really cute.
The mask smells nice like sweet yogurt. It feels sticky and stays cold and wet on the face. You apply the mask to your clean face and leave on for 10-15 minutes. It’s definitely very cooling and moisturizing. The mask is for all skin types. It has Vitamin E, collagen, hyaluronic acid (for moisturizing) and yogurt powder.
I’ve used face masks before, but not consistently, so I can’t tell which ones are better.
