Hi everyone! In this tutorial I will share a fun turmeric face mask DIY.


To be honest, I did not expect to look like Shrek when I made this mask, but I have to say it does a great job clearing up acne and acne scars.


Follow along while I show you how to make this turmeric face mask, and explain the benefits of the ingredients used.


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.

Applying DIY turmeric face mask

2. Apply your mask

Wash your face and pat it dry, making sure your skin is clean before applying the mask. 


Use a large makeup brush to apply the mask to your face. Avoid using your fingers, as it can get messy.

Apply an even layer across your face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas. 


Now you understand my reference to Shrek! 


Allow the mask to dry on your face for about 15 minutes or until you feel the mask has tightened on your skin. 

Rinsing DIY mask off

3. Rinse off the mask and moisturize

Gently rinse off the mask with warm water until your skin is clean. Pat your face dry with a clean towel. 


Apply your favorite moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated, as the mask can be drying. 


The mask is suitable for weekly use for about a month.
