DIY Turmeric Nutmeg Face Mask for Glowing Skin

DIY Turmeric & nutmeg Face Mask for Glowing Skin 

There are thousands of beauty products on the market promising you clearer, glowing skin but in my opinion, nothing beats a healthy lifestyle and diet to get the skin of your dreams. Sure, beauty products are great to give your skin a boost of radiance, but most are overloaded with filler ingredients and toxic chemicals.

Instead, why not create your own DIY Turmeric Face Mask, which is packed with antioxidants and natural botanicals that can give your skin a naturally beautiful glow?

Turmeric, nutmeg, raw honey can help you boost that natural radiant glow

Turmeric has been used to enhance the skin for hundreds of years and is most popular in South Asian households. Traditionally used during wedding season, Indian brides would slather a mixture of turmeric and yoghurt over their face and body the night before the big day to give them an all-over glow. As well as boosting the skin’s radiance, turmeric can help maintain elasticity in the skin and soothe sensitivity. What makes turmeric so potent is its antioxidant properties. It contains curcumin, which, when applied to the skin, can help keep it looking plump and feeling moisturised. It also helps maintain the skin’s collagen, making turmeric my favourite natural anti-ageing remedy.

Its soothing properties can also help heal any skin irritations, which makes it ideal for those with sensitive skin. However, its rich yellow colour can cause temporary staining to the skin. To avoid this try wiping away any excess colour left from the mask with olive oil. It also goes without saying that you shouldn’t be wearing your best clothes when preparing and wearing this face mask!

Nutmeg is a great exfoliator which reduces blemishes, helps clear skin and reduces blackheads. 

DIY face mask is super easy 

This DIY beauty recipe is super easy to emulate and you’re likely to have most of the ingredients in your kitchen cupboard, making it cost effective too!

Another ingredient used in this DIY face mask is raw honey, which can help hydrate and moisturise the skin. It also contains enzymes, which can help break down dead skin cells, and a small amount of alpha-hydroxy acid to help brighten skin and even out tone.

Yoghurt is packed with beneficial bacteria and, like honey, contains lactic acid, which is a mild alpha hydroxy acid that helps brighten skin and even out skin tone.

Why add probiotics to the mix? 

Probiotics include various strains of healthy bacteria that occur naturally on your skin. Adding them to your beauty products enhance the nurturing and protecting benefits of your DIY products.

Ingredients for this DIY Turmeric Face Mask for Glowing Skin

• • 1 teaspoon of organic turmeric

Method for this DIY Turmeric Face Mask for Glowing Skin

To begin, put an old t-shirt on to avoid the face mask staining your good clothes. Mix the ingredients together in a glass bowl until it forms a runny, sticky paste.

To apply to make sure your skin is clean and free of any makeup. Then dab your face with a damp cloth so it is moist.

Next, either with your fingertips or a makeup brush, apply the mask, starting from your forehead and moving down to your neck. Leave the mask on for twenty minutes before rinsing off with warm water.

If you find your skin has a slight stain after taking the mask off try applying some olive oil and wipe off any excess to lift the stain.

Make this face mask a weekly ritual and you’ll soon notice an improvement in your skin’s radiance!
