Steps for Making the Turmeric Face Mask
1) Start by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl until it forms a thin paste.

Note: Always test new skincare with a patch test. Apply a small about of the mask on your hand and leave it on for 10 minutes to make sure your skin doesn’t have an allergic reaction to the ingredient in this mask. Some with sensitive skin, will need to avoid using citrus or vinegar on the face.
