DIY Tumeric Face Mask ~ Meet April from The Gingerbread Blog

Hello! My name is April and I’m a wife and mother who loves of all things thrifted and vintage. I’m an avid thrifter who loves bringing new life to old treasures. I’m the owner of an Etsy shop called Vintage Gingerbread where I sell various vintage housewares, home decor and kitchy collectibles.
At the moment the bulk of my products are sold through “pop up” sales on Instagram (username @vintage_gingerbread). I’m so excited to be guest posting on Jen’s sweet blog today and I thought sharing a near and dear beauty recipe would be perfect.

This recipe is my all time favorite tool to reduce redness for pre\post skin breakouts. You know, when you can feel a huge painful bump under your skin and you can actually see where the blemish is surfacing?

I get really deep blemishes that are both painful and annoying. I have a really hard time covering them up with makeup when they are super red and swollen. This mask helps reduce both problems.

You may even have the ingredients in your kitchen already!

Have I convinced you to try it out yet?

If so, go grab:

> 2 tsp turmeric

> 1-2 tsp milk (or until a watery consistency)

Mix and apply a thin layer to your face.

After a few minutes it will begin to harden and shrink down until you have a super tight face.

That means it’s done and you can rinse it off.

I recommend using a wash cloth to scrub the mask off with warm water. Don’t freak out if you have to rinse your face a few times. I thought I had dyed my face yellow the first time I used it, but no worries, it comes off.

Your skin will feel super smooth and have a more even tone.

Enjoy!
