This week is all about beauty. And nature. Beauty and nature.
For this year's first challenge, we were called to make our own beauty product out of natural ingredients of our choice.

I decided to use turmeric or curcumin, a favorite spice/herb that i use a lot in many dishes and that is well known for its health benefits.
Only a few dozens of interesting recipes pop up when googling "turmeric diy", such as toothpaste, face masks, exfoliating creams, scrubs etc.
As at the moment i feel my skin a bit dull and irritated due the sun exposure, the idea of a nourishing and brightening face mask seems just right.
As at the moment i feel my skin a bit dull and irritated due the sun exposure, the idea of a nourishing and brightening face mask seems just right.
So here's a quick and easy diy face mask for glowing skin, with only two ingredients, which i found here (among other turmeric-based recipes and usefull tips):
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon yoghurt
In a small jar, mix the turmeric powder and yoghurt until you get a consistent and non-dripping paste.
Let the mask sit on for 10-15 minutes (don't mind my panic and wary eyes) and then rinse with warm water.
When done with rinsing, your skin might have a yellowish hue. Do-not-panic!
Just rinse your face again, gently, with warm water.
And you're done.
Now you just have to let the turmeric do its miracles on your skin.
Verdict:
Apart from the instant glow, this easy turmeric and yoghurt face mask has actually given me a cool sense of dewiness, which was absolutely necessary for my skin at the moment (hope it'll last for a couple of days!)
You can repeat this once a week - consistency should maximize the results.
For even best results, you can add a bit of coconut oil.
Well, that was all for today: super easy beauty diy shared and now off to get my beauty sleep.
Have a nice & creative day/week!
Kat.
