Did You Know?
Turmeric is a powerhouse ingredient in body scrubs, bringing both beauty and wellness benefits to your skin! Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory curcumin, it helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and brighten dark spots. Adding turmeric to your body scrub can leave skin feeling soft, even-toned, and radiant.
Beyond its soothing properties, turmeric is also popular for its natural exfoliating and skin-brightening effects. It can be blended with ingredients like sugar or sea salt to help lift dead skin cells while adding a subtle, golden glow. Just a little goes a long way to reveal fresh, smooth skin without harsh chemicals!
Tools Needed
- Large bowl
- Measuring cups: 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup.
- Tablespoon
- Small silicone spatula
- Electric hand mixer
- Container to store your DIY Turmeric Face Scrub
Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
Steps: DIY Turmeric Face Scrub
1- Begin by placing 1 cup of white sugar in a large bowl.
2- Add 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder to the sugar.
3- Add 1/3 cup of sweet almond oil to the sugar and turmeric powder.
4- Use a small silicone spatula to stir the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
5- Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the mixture and stir well.
6- Since this is a face scrub, we will use now an electric hand mixer to make the scrub finer. This is really optional. If you don’t wish to use an electric mixer, just be gentle when you apply the scrub on your face.
7- Scoop the scrub into a container for storage, and you’re done!
Note: It is not advisable to add essential oils to a face scrub. However, if you want to, add only 1-2 drops.
How To Use DIY Turmeric Face Scrub
a. Start with clean and dry skin. You can use a cleanser to wash your face and then pat it dry with a towel.
b. Next, take a small amount of DIY turmeric face scrub with your fingertips and gently massage it on your face using circular motions. Avoid going near the eye area.
c. After that, you should leave the scrub on your face for 5-15 minutes to allow it to work its magic.
d. Finally, rinse your face with warm water and use a washcloth to remove any leftover scrub. You can then use a moisturizer or your other skincare products as required.
Note: Depending on your skin’s needs, consider repeating this process once or twice a week.
Benefits: DIY Turmeric Face Scrub
DIY turmeric face scrub has many benefits such as:
Reduces irritation: Inflammation is a very common issue for people with sensitive skin. A turmeric face scrub has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce redness and skin irritation.
Exfoliates your skin: Using a turmeric face scrub regularly will result in the elimination of dead cells on your skin. In turn, your skin will look much brighter and smoother.
Moisturizes your skin: A turmeric face scrub is a great moisturizing product. It’s a good addition to your skincare routine if you’re looking to hydrate your skin to keep it soft and supple.
Has anti-aging properties: Turmeric is known to help stimulate collagen production in our skin. Collagen is a protein that helps keep our skin plump and firm. As we age, our bodies start to produce less of it. Using a turmeric face scrub can help promote collagen production and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Contains all-natural ingredients: Skincare products in the market can sometimes contain harmful chemicals for your skin. Because you’re making your own turmeric face scrub at home, it’ll contain natural ingredients. In essence, you control what goes into the product, which is always a good thing!
