Our skin is the first to let you know when something is not going right on the inside. The usual signs are acne, rashes, dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, sores, bruising, moles.

Here are recipes for the top face masks for acne. Make sure you remove all makeup and wash your face thoroughly before applying these natural face packs. Cleansing your face helps unclog pores and allows the masks to penetrate deep into your skin.

Homemade Turmeric Facial Mask – Basic Recipe

This is the basic turmeric face mask recipe. 

Ingredients

1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of raw organic honey
1 teaspoon of natural yogurt (or milk)

Preparation

Put turmeric into a little bowl. Add honey and yogurt (or milk). You can adjust the amount of yogurt (or milk) to adjust the thickness of the turmeric mask, but make sure that it’s a firm paste that will stick to your face. Turmeric is a dye and it can stain anything, so you don’t want it dripping off your face.

Application of the Turmeric Face Mask

Apply the turmeric mask evenly all over your face. A spot you don’t want to miss is under the eyes, as turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties help reduce the dark circles, which form as a result of vasoconstriction (narrowing of the vessels).

If you have any mask leftover, you can save it in the fridge for a few days and use it the next time. The honey will usually harden in the fridge, so you can add a little bit of yogurt/milk to adjust the consistency of the paste and reapply to your face.

Let the mask dry on your face. This means leaving it on for about 20 minutes and then washing it off with cool water. Dry your face gently with a cloth.

Repeat the mask treatment over the course of a few days. You can also apply it to your face every few weeks, depending on your needs and complexion.

Also here are some of the common ingredients that can be added to the basic turmeric face mask:


Lemon juice

 You can add a few drops of lemon juice to the basic recipe.

 Lemon juice contains vitamin C and citric acid, which naturally disinfect skin and remove excess oil. The natural acid gently exfoliates and cleanses oily skin, lightens the skin and leaving it toned and evener.

Tea tree oil – You can also add to the basic recipe a few drops of tea tree oil if you suffer from acne or pimples.





Olive oil or avocado oil – If you have dry skin you can add to the basic mixture 1/2 to 1 tsp. of olive oil or avocado oil or any other natural oil such as sweet almond oil, or jojoba oil. 

Make sure to apply the turmeric mask on a small skin patch on the first time you use it to make sure you don’t develop any skin irritation.
