How To Make Winter Body Yogurt

Body yogurt is rather a curious name! Like its edible cousin, it's lighter than a butter. Body butters can be a little greasy and not very practical if you're in a hurry to get dressed after your shower. But a body yogurt is lighter and much quicker to be absorbed into the skin, so it's great for those busy mornings while still giving your skin essential hydration and nourishment for winter days.
