Jones Turmeric has been growing in popularity recently, since it was promoted as one of the newest superfoods. And with good reason – it has many health benefits, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s great for skin care for the same reason; those properties help eliminate painful acne and other skin conditions.
So today we share a healthy turmeric face mask recipeto help give your skin its youthful glow back after a long winter.
Here’s what you need for yours turmeric face mask:
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon of Manuka Honey
- water
Directions for preparing turmeric face mak:
Step 1: mix honey and turmeric
Start by pouring turmeric and honey into the oatmeal. If the honey is too thick like mine, heat it in the microwave for 5 or 10 seconds. Mix everything together – it should become a super thick paste.
Step 2: add water
Add a tablespoon of water and continue mixing. Add more water until it becomes the consistency of lumpy hummus.
Step 3: use a blender
Use a blender to mix it to a pasty consistency, eliminating any large lumps.
Step 4: Apply and leave for 5-10 minutes
Apply it on your face and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Wipe off the excess with a paper towel and throw it in the trash, then rinse thoroughly in the sink with warm water. Finish with a layer of your regular facial moisturizer. Make sure to wear old clothes, as turmeric can stain the fabric.
In addition to the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric, oatmeal helps to cleanse and moisturize your skin. And honey is a humectant, which means 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!
