Cons of Using Turmeric:

1. Will temporarily stain your fingers yellow, so be sure to use gloves
2. When applied to the face, turmeric can temporarily stain the skin or leave a yellow residue. This is very normal. Best time to apply this mask is before bedtime. 
3. After applying the mask, rinse off the mask with your regular face cleanser to remove all the residue.
4. Be sure to do a patch test on your forearm, and wait 24 hours to see if you react before using it on your face. Do not use turmeric on your skin if you’re allergic to the spice in the food.

1. DIY Turmeric Face Mask

Ingredients:

• a pinch or 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder 
• 1 teaspoon whole wheat flour or rice flour
• 1 teaspoon yogurt or milk (for oily skin -removing acne) OR olive, coconut, or almond oil (for dry skin)
• 1/2 teaspoon honey

Directions:

1. The flour in this mask helps with exfoliating the skin. Mix all the above ingredients in a bowl into a paste and apply it onto your face, with the help of a makeup brush. You can also apply it under your eyes, to help remove the dark circles. And on your neck too. 
2. If the paste is too runny, add a bit more of the flour, and if it is too dry, add a bit more of the yogurt or milk OR oil.
3. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes, and rinse off with your regular face cleanser to remove all the residue, then follow with moisturizer. 
4. If you have trouble removing the residue completely off your skin, try using makeup remover face wipes to wipe off all the yellow residue.

2. DIY Turmeric Sensitive Face Mask

Ingredients:

• a pinch or 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon yogurt or milk
• 1 teaspoon whole wheat flour or rice flour
• ½ teaspoon aloe vera gel
• 1 teaspoon rose water

Aloe vera gel helps calm redness and irritation on the skin and rose water is a natural anti-inflammatory. If the mixture is too dry, add more rose water. Gently apply it to your skin, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse off.

If you have extremely sensitive skin use the face mask every two days instead of every day.
