TIP OF THE DAY ; TURMERIC FACE MASK

I read on IG about how turmeric can be used as a facial mask and I decided to make a research of my own. And yes! Its better than "abracadabra".

Tumeric has been long known in the west as a spice that adds flavor and colour to dishes. The popularity is now spreading as a good way to improve skin health and other health problems. When applied to the skin as a paste or a face mask, it can help in treating "acne, eczema, rosacea & aids in skin rejuvenation".
In acne, using facial mask can soothe skin blemishes and heal acne scars. For patients with eczema, applying a facial mask can reduce inflammation and redness. When rosacea patients use turmeric mask, it can reduce the tiny pimples and redness that this skin conditions causes. Regular use of turmeric with various combination of ingredients can soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

TURMERIC MASK FOR INFLAMATION
Turmeric has amazing anti-inflammatory properties and therefore works well in case of skin inflammation.

• Turmeric + sesame oil - mix and apply on affected areas. Keep for sometime (10mins) and wash with water. Sesame oil is a great antioxidant like turmeric and is easily absorbed by skin. Another great thing about this oil is that, it treats dry skin conditions such as chronic dry skin.
• Turmeric + pure honey
• Turmeric + almond oil - almond oil is great for skin health and along with anti-inflammatory turmeric will help tackle skin infections and also make skin look young and fresh.

TURMERIC MASK FOR FOR FACE BRIGHTENING

• Turmeric + groud flour + natural yogurt. Yogurt alone brightens the face but by using this 3 will WOW you.

Turmeric is well known to stain clothes. So I suggest  wearing an old t-shirt. And for the face, there may be slight yellowishness for sometime but goes after multiple washing. Low quality turmeric has synthetic colours and can harm your skin so go for a high quality, pls!

The advantage of home facial masks is that you can try various combinations of ingredient before settling on one that suits your skin the best. Before applying a facial mask, your skin must be clean and free of all cosmetics, lotion etc. Use mild shower gel or non-medicated & non-abrasive soap. This will open up pores nicely and make the mask more effective.
