Honey has long been used not only in cooking, but also as a natural remedy.
One of its properties is to help in the treatment of acne, reducing the appearance of pimples, spots and redness associated with it.
The main reason for its effectiveness is due to its high antibacterial and antiseptic power.
Honey is also a natural antioxidant that fights the harmful action of free radicals, responsible for cellular aging.
Another benefit of applying honey to the skin is to provide immediate hydration:
it is in fact capable of attracting and maintaining water molecules.
The benefits of yogurt on the skin
Many people use lactic acid products to soften dry, rough skin.
Yogurt is a natural source of lactic acid and is great for the skin as it helps cleanse and brighten it without drying it out.
Plus, it’s antibacterial, so it can help eliminate acne-causing bacteria.
Homemade turmeric mask
Before making the mask, make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction to the ingredients and test it on the back of your hand to make sure it doesn’t
leave yellow streaks or residue or cause irritation !
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of white yogurt
- Pour the turmeric into a bowl, add the yogurt and honey and mix.
- If the mixture does not have a good consistency,
gradually add yogurt until it forms a cream
that is ideal for spreading and above all does not leak. - Turmeric has a strong coloring power capable of staining clothes and surfaces.
- Before applying the mask, wash your face well and remove any makeup residue.
- Wear an old t-shirt in case you stain your clothes.
- The mask should be applied all over the face, even under the eyes – the anti-inflammatory power of
turmeric helps reduce dark circles which are the result of vasoconstriction. - Leave it on for about 20 minutes, then rinse with cool water.
- Finish the operation by gently drying your face with a towel.
If you have any leftover mixture, you can store it in the refrigerator for a few days and use it again
; usually, honey placed in the refrigerator will solidify.
To be able to reapply the mask, simply add a little more yogurt.
The treatment can be repeated several times a week as needed.

Lemon juice . (A few drops of lemon juice naturally disinfect and eliminate excess sebum thanks to the vitamin
C and citric acid it contains.)
