DIY Turmeric Face Mask For Glowing Skin!

TURMERIC BENEFITS

Turmeric helps reverse the effects of hyperpigmentation. 

This spice contains curcumin which has many benefits including being antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. 

Curcumin also soothes skin irritations, treat burns and relieve the pain of sunburn.

Turmeric mask also helps treat acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It reduces inflammatory, facial redness, and promotes skin healing! 

HONEY BENEFITS

Honey has so many health benefits which include treating acne, reducing appearance of pimples, scars, blemishes, and generally improves the skins appearance. 

It also contains antibacterial, antiseptic, and antioxidant properties. Antioxidants protect the skin by not allowing toxins to harm the skin. Honey is also a skin moisturizer and attracts and holds water and at the same time dried out bacteria.

MILK BENEFITS

Milk contains lactic acid which helps soften dry, hard skin and reduce skin roughness.

 It also soothes irritated skin, repairs aged skin, and lightens skin! 

So know that you know the benefits of each ingredient, let’s get to the mask! 

Ingredients:

1tsp Turmeric

1tsp honey

1tsp milk

Directions:

-Combine all ingredients together in a bowl making sure it has a bit of a paste consistency so it’ll adhere to your face. 

-Wear a t-shirt that you’re okay with getting messy because tumeric DOES STAIN so be careful! 

-Apply Turmeric mask evenly to clean face. I used a clean make up brush for easier application. 

-Leave mask on for about 20 minutes then wash off with cool water. Gently dry your face with a washcloth. 

Warning: Make sure to do a skin test by putting the mask on a small area of skin befor applying to your face. Turmeric and honey can cause an allergic rash in some people which can cause hives, contact dermatitis, redness of skin, blisters, itchiness, and swelling. 

When I washed off my mask, my skin felt so soft and smooth! I will do this mask again in the future to help get rid of my hyperpigmentation!

If you do this mask, let me know how it worked out for you!

Thumbs up to yogurt for breakfast!

Where Are You Eating Your Breakfast?

Fun Breakfast Fact:

The most popular place to eat breakfast is at your table at home, either alone or with members of your household, or on your sofa.

I’m enjoying my oatmeal with peanut butter, cinnamon, and honey right here at work! It’s more convenient to eat at work versus at home since I don’t have to worry about rushing to go anywhere!
