DIY Golden Haldi Face Mask
/The best way I like to wind down after a long day is with a homemade face mask, cup of warm team, cozy PJs, some kitty cuddles, and a good TV show. One of my favorite masks is this DIY Golden Haldi (Turmeric) Face Mask. Some of my fondest memories from my childhood are having turmeric stained fingers and making homemade remedies for both inside and out, the best part was that we already had all the ingredients at home.
This mask is packed with antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial which makes it great for brightening the skin, improving hyper pigmentation, and reducing acne/acne scarring. For me, it especially helped with my Cystic acne when I was younger and now is a great spot treatment for those once-in-awhile hormonal breakouts or when I need a DIY spa day.
I truly believe, pampering ourselves doesn’t have to be expensive, it just means finding a practice that feels lush and allows you to spend some time with yourself.
Ingredients:
1-2 tsp turmeric*
2 tsp manuka honey
1 tbsp coconut yogurt (or plain)
½ tbsp aloe
Squeeze of lemon
*If you are new to using turmeric in skin care, I recommend doing ½ - 1 tsp of turmeric and testing on your arm first to make sure it doesn’t stain and adjusting accordingly.
I hope you enjoy this little dose of self care, and enjoy a spa day at home my sweet friends.
