Turmeric & Greek yogurt calming mask. Turmeric is used a lot in India as a cooking spice as well as a traditional beauty product. Turmeric has natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties which is great not just for acne prone skin as it helps kill all those nasty bacteria's that cause acne but for ageing, sensitive, pigmentation, dry and just about every other type of skin out there. Greek yogurt contains lactic-acid and enzymes that naturally cleanses and repairs skin cells.
So it just makes sense to use Turmeric and Greek yogurt together, they are a match made in kitchen beauty heaven.
This mask is wonderful because it can double as a exfoliant as well. After making your mask cleanse your face twice to really make sure you have no makeup or dirt on your skin to get in the way of letting the mask penetrate into your skin. Spread mask all over your face, neck and you can bring it down to your décolletage (upper chest) if you like, Be careful to avoid your eyes and mouth (it might be natural but it tastes nasty). Leave the mask on your 15 - 20 mins to let it dry and really get in your skin and do its thing.If you would like to use it as a exfoliator as well before you wash it off just wet your face until mask is damp again and massage around face in little circular motions for a couple of minutes then rinse, tone and moisturise.
Turmeric is great for an exfoliant as it has a gentle grainy texture when mixed with the Greek yogurt so its not harsh on delicate sensitive skin.
