Easy Turmeric Bath Powder Recipe for Glowing Skin
In this tutorial, I’m going to share my recipe for a turmeric bath powder you can make easily at home. Let’s get started.
Disclaimer: When applied to the skin, turmeric can sometimes cause temporary staining, so please proceed with caution! You may wish to use slightly less turmeric than the recipe recommends.
Tools and materials:
- Oranges
- Gram flour (Besan)
- Turmeric powder
- Honey, yogurt, or aloe vera (optional)
1. Clean 2-3 organic oranges thoroughly
Take 2-3 organic oranges and remove the peel from each of them after cleaning.
2. Lay out the peels
Lay out the orange peels evenly on a tray with the inner side facing up.
3. Leave them in the sun for 3-5 days
Place the tray of orange peels out in the sun, preferably by a window, and let them dry out for 3-5 days.
They’ll appear slightly crispy and their skin will have deepened in color.
4. Blend
Once the peels are completely dried out, blend them into a very fine powder.
Save the blended powder in a little jar.
5. Mix dry ingredients
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. The amount depends on how much you intend to make. These ingredients are: 1 parts Gram flour ( besan)
1 parts Orange peel powder
1 TBSP turmeric powder
6. Turn the powder into a paste
To use the turmeric bath powder, add water to 2-3 tbsp of the mixed powders to make a paste. Mix well.
7. Add additional ingredients for dry skin (optional)
You can add 1 tsp of honey, yogurt, or aloe vera to the mixed paste to target dry skin.
8. Apply
Apply the paste to moist skin. Lightly massage in a circular motion and then rinse clean.

One small caveat... the oils from citrus (except neroli, apparently) can cause photosensitive (make you UV sensitive, thus burning more or even carcinogenic). So advice is usually only to use citrusy oils (which dried orange peels have) in items which will be washed off before you go outside. So for bath probably great, but might want to watch using it right before going outdoors unless rinsed off really well. but I bet it smells awesome. And I love using turmeric and orange oils in making soap,
