Turmeric for the Win


Not every concoction I mix in the kitchen goes in my mouth.

Some are meant for my face and others for my hair. Today I was looking for something to get rid of acne scars and I found some recipes for lemon and sugar mix. However the tumeric powder one was more interesting so I decided to go for that one instead.

Originally the recipe calls for
turmeric powder
almond oil
garbanzo bean flour and or chickpea flour
milk

I used
turmeric powder
almond extract (hope its the same thing or close)
milk
cinnamon
honey-sort of burned without it.



I didn't have chikpea flour so I just said, forget the flour. I hope that wasn't important. It was a bit more watery than in the video but it didn't run down my face. The mixture turned my fingers orange-yellow, I hope it doesn't do that to my face. I kinda want to try the lemon juice right after, but that might be too much for my face. Maybe tomorrow.

How to Vid. In case you can't tell, this is not me.

*It did leave a slight yellow-orange tint but with facial wash and scrubbing it became barely noticeable.
