Homemade face masks are becoming more and more popular. Not only do they work great, but they are made from natural ingredients. One of the most popular masks is the one made of turmeric. It is easy to prepare and works wonders on our skin.
Turmeric face mask. These are its properties
You can find a whole lot of different recipes for face or hair masks on Instagram or TikTok. One, however, has recently gained many supporters. It's exactly about the turmeric mask. But is this homemade product worth the hype? It turns out that yes. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. So, it helps in rejuvenating the pores and improves the skin tone and its pH balance. Moreover, its strong anti-inflammatory properties help to alleviate the appearance of scars and dark spots left by imperfections. Turmeric mixed with yogurt can be used as a way to relieve acne.
A turmeric mask will also help with dark circles under the eyes. Thanks to it, we will brighten the skin, bring out its natural glow and reduce swelling around the eyes. It is also worth noting that this golden spice will help reduce the visibility of wrinkles, maintain skin elasticity and restore its firmness. An interesting fact is that the turmeric mask has antioxidant properties, which means that it protects the skin against the harmful effects of the environment and even slows down the aging process. It is worth noting that this mask is also recommended for people with skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis.
Turmeric mask. How to prepare?
You can find many recipes for a homemade turmeric mask on the Internet. To prepare it in the simplest version that will cope with discolorations, imperfections and wrinkles, we will need:
- a teaspoon of honey
- a spoonful of natural yogurt
- a teaspoon of turmeric
Preparing the mask itself is also extremely simple. Just mix all the products together until the paste is uniform. Apply the mask to your face and leave it for about 15 minutes. After this time, wash the natural product from the face with warm water. If the mask leaves an orange tint, you can easily remove it with make-up removal milk or coconut oil.
This mask can be modified in various ways. For example, if we want to get rid of dark circles under the eyes, just mix turmeric with lemon juice, and for severe discoloration, you can mix turmeric with olive oil, cinnamon and lemon juice.
However, you need to be careful because a turmeric mask will not work for everyone. Cosmetics may sensitize us and cause allergic reactions. If we want to make sure that it will not harm us, just perform an allergy test by applying a small amount of the mask to the body. If discoloration or irritation begins to appear, we should not use the mask.
