i know that every lady out there would want soft glowy skin:)...Some of you might or might not be familiar with turmeric powder,so thats y i m here to tell ya:)..Turmeric powder has been proven to be an excellent antioxidant and the benefits it can give. Turmeric grows wild in the forests of South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the key ingredients for many Indian, Persian and Thai dishes such as in curry and many more.Turmeric has many skin care benefits. It is excellent for fading scars, reducing hyper-pigmentation and skin lightening. It is antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial Turmeric protects the skin from free radicals and at the same time speed up the healing of the skin. Whether the skin is suffering from acne, scarring, uneven skin tone, wounds, burns, eczema, freckles, wrinkles to stretch marks – turmeric will heal it. It also can be used to fade out the sun tan from the skin quicker.

It’s undeniable that this natural healer is also beneficial for our health, like treating and preventing cancer – that’s huge!

Lets get cookin girls..lol....heres wht u need...

2tps of turmeric powder
2tsps of besan flour (another great antioxidant, i ll explain later)
Milk.

Mixing: Mix turmeric with besan and add milk as u mix..( try not to pour to much or it will eventually become a liquid substance)

as u are mixing, you should see an orange colored paste ( u want it to b that a way)

apply to face in an upward motion also neck area.

let sit for 20 min

If in shower the steam will help loosen up the mask, if taking a bath, take a wet warm towel or cloth and press against skin.

:).....for the besan as i mentioned earlier Applying besan is very good for the skin as well as
for keeping the complexion glowing and skin healthy. That is why in Indian weddings, both the bride and the groom are annointed with besan. Most Indian weddings and other cultural and religious rituals have a deeper meaning.

try mixing a little turmeric powder with milk and drink up...it might not taste sweet but trust me its good for u on the inside...remember whatever you put in your body (eating/drinking) affects whats on the outside.:)..

It's a natural antibiotic too. Anytime I have a sore throat, I take some on a spoon at bedtime and let it coat the area overnight.

I have been familiar with turmeric facial mask as I am IndianIts my regular facial mask. It really adds a glow to the face from my own experience:)
but some ppl are allergic to it so always do a patch test... It might sting a little but its quite normal:)

Just and fyi for the pale ladies. This stuff is going to turn your skin yellow. I already went through the turmeric phase and did my research. I know people from Indian cultures who say yes, it does everything mentioned above but is only good for tanned and dark skin tones, anything pale will stain, and it‘s very difficult to remove.

@natalie: yeah I agree its good for tanned ppl like me. If you are too pale I guess you shouldn't try it before a patch test:)
