Will it stain my face?
The powerful antioxidants in turmeric give it the vibrant yellow colour and that may stain pale skin
I recommend testing how long to apply mask for on the inside of your arm. Leave for 1 minute, if no discolouration is observed leave for another 4 minutes; test again and keep it on up to 10 minutes to assess how long to leave mask on face.
