Turmeric Face Mask

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who has experienced the crushing blow of a deflated, deformed, and disgusting D.I.Y. face-mask gone wrong. Standing over the kitchen sink, watching your expensive ingredients drip down the drain is certainly enough of a fail to startle even the most diligent natural beauty guru. Luckily, this week I underwent a major breakthrough in my face mask skills. With no further ado, I introduce the Turmeric Face Mask. Now don’t shy away from this unusual spice. The antibacterial properties of turmeric aid in acne treatment, and its anti inflammatory properties are sure to make your skin radiate of health, not blemishes. For this simple recipe, I combined yogurt, raw honey, and of course, turmeric. I usually am pretty insouciant towards strict measurements, and added as much as I deemed fit. However, for those who prefer to take the more professional route, the measurements are down below.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Turmeric
1/2  Cup Raw Honey
1/4 Cup Yogurt

Specifically, I chose to include pure, raw, natural honey from Wild Mountain Apiary.  Also, the yogurt I included was vanilla from Trader Joe’s, but any sort of Greek Yogurt would be an appropriate substitute. Also, make sure to leave the exfoliating mask on for a minimum of 30 minutes if you wish to enjoy all properties of this natural beauty treatment.

Results

After removing the scrub the result was definitely a success. I was gifted with soft, smooth skin, and a much improved shine on my face. Overall, I feel exfoliated and impressed with the outcome! 

I’d love to hear about your experience if you decide to try it too!

Hope you all enjoy!
