Turmeric
As noted in our first blog post on skin care trends, Turmeric Mask was one of the top Sustained Risers in the U.S. and it pops up as a top trending ingredient. Turmeric contains curcumin and is known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It has been used thousands of years to treat various skin diseases.
Here is a quick and easy mask containing turmeric that you can make at home:
Turmeric Glow Mask
1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon mashed banana
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
Combine all three ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Apply evenly to face and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Wash off with warm water and a washcloth.
Enjoy the glow!
