Turmeric Face Mask

Turmeric has amazing healing properties and has been used for at least 6000 years in India both internally and externally; Indian brides have long used it head to toe to brighten skin before their weddings

  • Anti-bacterial properties help manage breakouts & acne
  • Strong anti-oxidant properties balances sebum secretion and aids cleaning out pores
  • Anti-inflammatory properties soothe redness

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.

Ingredients

  • Organic apple cider vinegar
  • Half a teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon organic raw honey
  • Milk

Method

  1. Apply apple cider vinegar with cotton wool to whole face and wait 5 minutes before applying mask
  2. Mix turmeric and honey to make a paste and apply with clean hands or spatula, avoiding eye area
  3. Leave mask for time determined in skin test
  4. Rinse with warm water
  5. If yellowish tint is seen, use a milk-soaked cotton pad to go over stained areas
