Acne, eczema, redness, inflammation, dark spots or under eye circles, unwanted facial hair, wrinkles. If you have any one of the aforementioned facial and skin issues then this homemade mask is for you. It brightens skin and tightens pores as it works to clear up acne and eczema, and reduces any redness or inflammation.
It also helps fade those unsightly dark spots and under eye circles, while working to reduce unwanted facial hair. Plus, it’s anti-aging and fights wrinkles while leaving skin soft and smooth. This mask is the most beneficial one you’re likely to ever come across and it all comes down to a few simple, inexpensive, and easy to find ingredients, the main one being turmeric.
Turmeric is a very colorful, orange-yellow spice that comes in powder form. Most of the world’s supply is grown in India where the Turmeric plants roots are gathered, boiled, and then dried in super hot ovens. Once fully dry they’re ground down into a fine powder, which is very strong and easily stains whatever it comes into contact with.
That’s why it’s often used as a dye agent, even though it’s most widespread and common use is as a spice for flavoring foods. With that being said, make sure you wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty or stained when making this facial treatment. You also want to wear gloves or your nails and skin will turn yellow, in the same way that yellow mustard stains hands and fingers.
Gather together a small bowl, a teaspoon, a tablespoon, flour, turmeric, almond oil, and regular milk. Place 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 teaspoon of turmeric in the bowl, then add 1 tablespoon of almond oil and as much milk as it takes to get a creamy consistency that’s not too runny or thick. For reference, she started out with 3 tablespoons and added a little more to get it just right.
Once those four ingredients are all mixed together it’s ready to be applied onto your face. Be extra careful when you go to apply this mask and avoid your eyes and eyebrows since it works to remove facial hair and can take your brows off. Also, be mindful of that fact when working around your hairline.
You can apply it under the under eye area but make sure you don’t get too close to your eyelashes! Leave the mask on for 20 minutes then wash it off with lukewarm water. Use a towel you don’t mind ruining or getting all yellow to wipe any remaining bits off your face.
During this part be careful to not get any of the turmeric on the counter top because it will stain that, and anything else it comes into contact with. After you get the mask off you may have slightly yellow skin. Wash your face again, this time with a gentle cleanser, to get rid of any remaining residue and follow that up with a light moisturizer.
The turmeric facial mask can and should be applied at least once every week. It’s all natural and won’t cost you more than a few dollars to make. For some of us out there this beauty tip could change our appearance, and lives, for the better. So rifle through your spice rack and grab the turmeric, mix it up and smear some on your face, and be amazed at how such an unlikely solution actually works!
