This is the best turmeric face mask formula that you can test and tweak to find what works best for your skin. Yes, turmeric stains, so go easy. Start with ¼ teaspoon, and don't go higher than 1 teaspoon of turmeric per mask. So start with 1 part turmeric and 9 parts flour and work up to 1 part turmeric to 4 parts flour.

But you can customize the ingredients for your skin type and your skin's needs. Try mixing in Fuller's earth or bentonite clay with chickpea flour to dry out oily areas, or use ground oats if your skin is on the dry side. Don't have chickpea flour : Use regular flour, rice flour, or ground oats for dry skin.

Or just leave it out, and stick with full-fat yogurt and honey. After you combine the turmeric and flour in a small bowl, add the milk or yogurt until you have the right consistency. You want to create a thick paste that you can slather on your face—it shouldn't be runny!

If it's too milky, add more flour to thicken. You can also use unsweetened coconut milk, almond milk, rose water, apple cider vinegar, or fresh juice like orange, pineapple, or grape juice.

Add a small amount of additional ingredients—like ½ teaspoon—to make it more moisturizing or add other benefits. Apply a thin , even layer —the more you pile on, the greater your chances of staining, especially on your neck, where the skin is thinner. I noticed some staining on my hands, but it came off easily.

Keep the mask on till it's almost dried but not completely dry and cracking. Around 10 to 15 minutes is all you need. Massage the mask into your skin as you rinse with warm water to help remove the turmeric. Swipe your face with milk to remove any residual turmeric.

Hint : This mask is a good one to use before bed. If there is minor staining, it will disappear by morning. Let's tackle the biggest question: Will I turn yellow? Yes and no. Some folks never have staining; it can often depend on your skin tone.

If you're very fair, you might get a tinge of yellow, but it's not permanent. While the powerful antioxidants present in turmeric impart that vibrant yellow color, be aware that this same color can stick around a little too long. I learned first-hand just how powerful turmeric is at coloring my pores.

So, yes, turmeric may stain pale skin if used in a DIY skincare recipe, BUT: 1 you can follow the steps above to minimize staining and 2 use the suggestions below to remove any temporary turmeric stains.

If you're left with a bit of a turmeric tint, don't fret; there's a simple solution. Turmeric is oil soluble , so reach for something containing fat to help absorb the color. You can do it as often as daily, but once or twice a week should be enough to get results.

A good rule of thumb is to try it on the inside of your arm for a few minutes first. You'll see if you have any adverse reactions and also get an idea of how long it takes to stain the skin. You can use the 1-minute rule: if you notice no discoloration after 60 seconds, leave it on for another 4 minutes.

Test again, keeping it on for 15 minutes, which should be the max for most products and at-home solutions. If you use retinoids and feel a burning sensation with a turmeric mask, wash it off immediately. This is a common skin reaction with retinoids and turmeric, so patch test before using.

Combine the anti-inflammatory power of turmeric with the healing power of raw honey for a super simple turmeric acne mask. Use a ratio of raw honey and turmeric for a quick spot treatment on blemishes. You can also make a turmeric-water paste and apply it like a spot treatment.

Look for organic turmeric to make sure it doesn't include any yellow dye. You can also use Kasturi turmeric , which is not meant for cooking and may stain less. Yes, turmeric makes an excellent scalp mask to fight off flakes. Combine 1 teaspoon of turmeric with 2 tablespoon of olive oil and apply to your scalp.

Leave on for 15—30 minutes before shampooing out. This post was medically reviewed by Dr. Jennifer Haley, a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience in medical, cosmetic, and surgical dermatology.
