3 easy ways to incorporate haldi into your skincare regime:
Turmeric, yoghurt and gram flour face pack for dry skin
With gram flour acting as an excellent exfoliant, yoghurt performing as a natural moisturiser and turmeric possessing anti-inflammatory properties, this instant DIY is considered every dry skin type’s go-to face pack. To create the recipe, take 1 teaspoon of gram flour, 1 teaspoon of yoghurt and a pinch of turmeric. Mix the ingredients well together to form a paste-like consistency and slather the natural concoction onto your face and neck area. Leave to rest for 10 minutes before washing off with lukewarm water.
Fuller’s earth, haldi and raw milk for dull skin
The combination of haldi, raw milk and fuller’s earth is the ultimate face pack you can always rely on for an instant glow. A quick whisk up to apply before any occasion or impromptu plan, this DIY will guarantee you shine even without the spotlight. To make the pack, add 1 teaspoon of fuller’s earth to a bowl with a pinch of turmeric and 2 teaspoons of raw milk and blend. Apply the mixture onto your face and neck, letting it rest for 7-10 minutes until it’s dry. Lastly, in a gentle circular motion allow the pack to soften then completely wash off with water.
Tackle hyperpigmentation with turmeric and lemon
While turmeric is widely known for calming irritated inflamed skin, its properties can also assist in tackling pigmentation and sun spots – a few of the common skin woes Indians are prone to. To make the recipe, simply mix 1 teaspoon of gram flour, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of turmeric powder. Slather the pack onto your face, leaving it to rest for 15 minutes before washing off with water. Followed by a light gel or cream to provide moisture and lock everything in.
