How to Use Turmeric and Honey Mask

Mix equal parts turmeric and honey, apply for 10-15 minutes, then remove with warm water and gentle circular motions.

1. Mix the mask. Combine one teaspoon each of turmeric powder and raw honey in a small bowl. The honey should be thick enough to bind the turmeric without being runny. Add a few drops of water if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
2. Prep your skin. Cleanse your face with your regular cleanser and pat dry. Apply petroleum jelly or thick moisturizer around your hairline, eyebrows, and any areas you want to protect from temporary staining.
3. Apply evenly. Using clean fingers or a brush, spread the mask in a thin, even layer across your face, avoiding the eye area. The turmeric will give your skin a golden tint that washes off completely.
4. Wait and remove. Leave on for 10-15 minutes until the mask feels tight but not uncomfortable. Rinse with warm water using gentle circular motions to help exfoliate, then follow with your regular moisturizer.
