Turmeric Face Mask Recipe For beautiful skin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 3 tablespoon milk
Mix the ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl.
Start by washing your face with warm water to open up pores. Pat dry after washing.
Using clean fingertips, place a thin layer of the mask on your face, avoid your eyes, eyebrows and mouth.
Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, or until it dries completely.
Use a washcloth to remove the mask. I usually use a dark colored wash cloth or one I don’t mind discarding after.
Apply olive oil on your face and wipe off the excess oil to remove any remaining turmeric stain.
Apply a moisturizer to lock in all the goodness.
