Greek beauty brand, Korres, is fast becoming one of my favorite beauty product lines. They have all kinds of healthy lotions and potions to plaster your face with!
Korres sent me some Yogurt Cream and Yogurt Mask samples to try. At first I was skeptical that the creams would do anything other than look nice in their hefty glass jars. I usually find that the nicer the jar – the more over-hyped the cream inside. This was not the case here.
The Korres Yogurt Cream facial moisturizer has a velvety feel and nice thickness to it. It absorbs into the skin easily, so it’s fine for use day or night. The product is touted for “oily and dehydrated skin.” I have combination skin so I need something to combat the dryness but I don’t want it to be so heavy that it makes me break out. This fits the bill perfectly. It’s made with organic yogurt, which has lactose, proteins, minerals and vitamins to nourish the skin without causing more oil production. (Retail – $29.50)
The Korres Yogurt Mask is a similar product, but with heftier ingredients – meant to be left on for 10-15 minutes and then rinsed off. You can even leave it on overnight for an extra moisturizing night cream. It won’t clog pores, but you should wash your face and put the day cream on in the morning if you’re going to wear makeup. (Retail – $27.00)
Korres never uses any phthalates, GMOs, triclosan, parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals – you get the idea. Korres products are also never tested on animals and are cruelty-free. But, these products do contain yogurt, so are fine for vegetarians, but not our vegan friends. For vegans, I would suggest checking out their Materia Herba or Olive & Rye day cream.
This is a great product, I have been using yogurt for exfoliating my skin, but I find its smell not nice, having a skin cream with the yogurt benefits but no yogurt smell would be great!
