Turmeric, Lemon & Honey

By combining turmeric, a popular Indian spice, with lemon juice and raw honey, you can make a facial mask that will draw impurities from your pores, remove blemishes and leave your skin looking
young and fresh.

Turmeric:

Turmeric is effective in the treatment of acne due to its antiseptic and antibacterial properties which fight pimples and breakouts to provide a youthful glow to your skin. Turmeric face mask not only helps to clear acne scars and inflammation but also reduces oil secretion by sebaceous glands. You can prepare a face pack by mixing turmeric powder and sandalwood powder and adding lemon juice to the mixture. Apply it on your face for 10 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water. For acne scars, apply a mixture of turmeric and plain water on the marks for 15 minutes

Lemon:

According to HealthGuidance.org, lemon is good for cleansing the skin. Rub a slice of lemon on your skin each day, leave it on for up to an hour, then rinse with warm water. This helps to remove blemishes and light scars from the skin; it can even help to fade a sun tan. Lemon is rich in vitamin C; drinking a mix of lemon and warm water each day helps eliminate toxins from the body.

Honey:
According to SkinCareResourceCenter.com, honey is a humectant, which means that it forms a protective layer over the skin, to help retain moisture. This makes honey suitable for dry skin because it prevents cracking and soreness, but it also benefits people with oily skin because honey moisturizes the skin without leaving a greasy film behind. Honey is also rich in antioxidants that can help reduce fine wrinkles and sagging skin.

How to make Mask:
You can combine all the benefits of turmeric, honey and lemon by mixing the three together into a paste to make a face mask.  Mixing together 2 tbsp. of honey, 1 tsp. of fresh lemon juice and a small pinch of turmeric. Spread it evenly over your face and leave for ten10 minutes before rinsing. This will freshen the complexion and is also a good remedy for acne.
