Turmeric Facial Mask
This mask goes beyond delivering a radiant glow—it leaves your skin feeling irresistibly soft and luxurious. It even gently removes unwanted facial hair and peach fuzz, creating the ultimate smooth, polished finish. The recipe provides enough to generously cover your face, neck, and décolletage. For best results, use the mask immediately after preparation, as it naturally thickens over time.
RECIPE
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons chickpea flour (for sensitive oily skin) or oat flour (for dry or combination skin)
2 teaspoons sweet almond oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon raw milk, almond milk, or rose water
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the ingredients in a bowl or a blender until they form a thick paste.
Apply a thick mask layer directly to your face, neck, and decolletage.
Let dry for 15 to 20 minutes, until the mask begins to crack.
Rinse off with warm water and a washcloth. Look in the mirror and marvel.
HOW THE INGREDIENTS ACT
Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory agent that removes redness, reduces puffiness, and even stimulates circulation (meaning it also helps to boost collagen production for a more youthful appearance.
Chickpea flour absorbs excess oil (so you look luminous, not shiny) and exfoliates the skin’s surface.
Oat flour boosts hydration and brings softness to dry skin.
Sweet almond oil and olive oil moisturize deep down, smoothing out lines and wrinkles and giving the skin a lustrous, dewy glow.
Raw milk, almond milk, and rose water soften, hydrate, and boost the skin radiance.
