A simple face mask for the Glo-Getters, for all skin types made with soothing turmeric and aloe vera.
Ingredients (makes 2 applications):
- Turmeric raw or powder- 2 tbsp
- Aloe Vera plant or gel- 1 tbsp
- Lemon- 1 tbsp
- Natural greek yogurt- 1 tbsp
- Oats- 1 tsp (optional)
What you will need & their magic:
Turmeric: contains antioxidants, anti- inflammatory and anti- septic components. Great for blemish- prone skin, reducing acne and dark marks, soothing irritation and bringing out your skin's natural glow. Aids in giving your skin an even complexion and brighter, clearer looking skin.
Aloe Vera: has some anti- fungal, anti- viral and cell regenerative properties. Naturally soothing it encourages skin repair and the build-up of new skin cells. Suppresses inflammation, unclogs pores and locks in moisture, leaving your skin tight, smooth and soft.
Lemon: possesses exfoliating, antiseptic and fat eliminating properties. Excellent tool to naturally improve and beautify the skin. Allowing the skin to deep clean along with its acidity helps regulate the levels of oiliness in the skin. Restores its natural softness as well as tightening and brightening it and giving it a younger look and feel.
Yoghurt: anti- inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Hydrates skin and aids in the reduction of acne and fading blemishes, with the added benefit of having zero side effects (unless you have an allergy to dairy).
Glo-Getter Steps
- First, place the turmeric, yogurt and aloe vera into a blending machine. We recommend doing this if you opt to use aloe vera plant and turmeric in its natural form (to reap all the benefits for your skin) to give you a smoother consistency. If you are using powder or jared versions then the ingredients can be mixed by hand
- Then, squeeze lemon juice into the bowl and mix all of the ingredients well. If your mask is too runny you can also add a tablespoon of oats to thicken up the texture (oats are also great for your skin!)
- Next, remove make-up and wash and dry your face thoroughly to get rid of any impurities so the mask can be applied on a clean base. Wear gloves when applying onto the skin as it can stain your nails
- Rest. Allow the mask to sit on the face for about 10 minutes or until dry
- Rinse thoroughly and tone to remove any turmeric stains. Your skin will instantly feel soft and look glowy!
Caution: Try to avoid direct sunlight straight after your mask as your pores are open, especially if you have sensitive skin. Turmeric provides a great glow but can also stain your clothes and skin, so please be cautious when applying the mask.(note: although lemon is beneficial it is also acidic so we would recommend to dilute in alkaline water or rose water.)
Storage: If there is any mask remaining, there's no need to throw it away! You can simply cover the bowl and place in the fridge for up to four days.
