Turmeric Face Pack - DIY

#facepack #skincare #turmeric

Personally, I prefer to do my skincare and hair-care routines using natural ingredients which are easily available in every household. This helps in having control over what we are exposing our skin/hair to. We can also avoid the products we are allergic to. We can adjust the concentration of the ingredients as per skin’/hair’ sensitivity.

It is also necessary we cover neck region while using face pack.

Today, we are preparing face pack with 2 essential and 1 optional ingredient.

Today' Ingredients: TURMERIC and HONEY

Usage: 2-3 days a week (alternate days)

Turmeric:

• Is super anti-bacterial and helps to keep skin clear and healthy.

• Has anti-inflammatory properties to keep skin pores clam.

• Turmeric powder can be used for exfoliation as well.

• Reduces acne and brightens skin

• It also helps reduce blemishes to have clear skin.

• Helps in lighten sun tan

• Has antiseptic properties.

**Turmeric stains on clothes are hard to remove, so be careful while using turmeric based packs.

Honey:

• Has soothing effect.

• Has high hydrating properties which moisture skin.

• Is anti-inflammatory and helps in healing/rebuilding cells and also sunburn.

• Is antibacterial which cleanses skin and keeps healthy.

• Can be used as daily cleanser and is a gentle exfoliator.

Sandalwood Powder (optional):

If you have oily skin, you can add sandalwood powder to the above 2.

• Sandalwood helps control oil secretion.

• It removes tan, dark spots, and fights acne.

• Has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Face Pack Preparation:

• Mix ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon of sandalwood powder (Optional) and 1 tablespoon of honey.

• Add little milk (any milk at room temperature – raw/boiled) if consistency is thick. (honey could be thick due to cold climate)

** Alternatively, you can blow the mixture with blower to melt honey a bit and get thin paste.

• Apply as thin layer on face (cheeks, nose edges, smile line and t-zone) and neck. Avoid application near eyes.

• Keep it for 15-20 mins minimum and wash off with cold/lukewarm water.

• Apply a good toner (rosewater/cucumber based) after patting face and neck dry.

**Use Rice-Water, if you don't have above eady to use toners.

**Never use hot warm for face/hair wash as it damages the skin and hair protein(keratin).
