Simple Turmeric Face Mask DIY for Glowing Skin
Updated on June 25, 2021
Turmeric has been growing in popularity lately, ever since it started being touted as one of the newest superfoods. And with good reason – it has numerous health benefits, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. It is great for skincare for the same reason; those properties help eliminate painful acne and other skin conditions.
So today we’re sharing a healthy turmeric face mask recipeto help give your skin its youthful glow back after a long winter.
Here’s what you’ll need for your turmeric face mask:
- 1/2 cup of oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon of Manuka Honey
- Water
Directions to prepare the turmeric face maks:
Step 1: mix the honey and turmeric
Begin by pouring the turmeric and honey into the oatmeal. If the honey is super thick like mine is, heat it up in the microwave for 5 or 10 seconds. Mix everything together – it should form a super thick paste.
Step 2: add some water
Add about a tablespoon of water and keep mixing. Add more water until it becomes the consistency of lumpy hummus.
Step 3: use blender
Use a blender to blend it into a pasty consistency, eliminating any large lumps.
Step 4: Apply and leave for 5-10 minutes
Apply it to your face and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Wipe off the excess with a paper towel and toss it in the trash, then rinse thoroughly in the sink with warm water. Finish with a layer of your regular facial moisturizer. Be sure to wear old clothing, as turmeric can stain fabric.
In addition to the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric, the oatmeal will help cleanse and moisturize your skin. And the honey is a humectant, which means that it draws moisture from the air and hydrates what’s underneath. So you can be sure that this mask will do all the right things for your tired, dry skin!
