Turmeric helps in improving skin complexion, reducing blemishes and bringing natural glow. Especially before festivals, weddings etc., people use turmeric face packs more. However, if turmeric is not applied properly, it can cause harm instead of benefit. Due to wrong use, the skin starts looking dry, lifeless or even dull.If you want to get best results from turmeric face pack, then it is very important to know some common mistakes related to it and avoid them.
Do not make these mistakes while using turmeric in skin care-
1. Mixing too many ingredients-
Often people think that the more things are added to turmeric, the more benefits they will get. This is the biggest mistake. Turmeric is quite effective in itself. Mixing it with excess oil, cream or chemical products can cause skin irritation or rashes. Using turmeric mixed with milk, rose water or plain water is considered the safest and most effective method.
2.Keeping the face pack on for a long time
Many people feel that the longer turmeric face pack is applied, the more it will improve. But applying turmeric pack for more than 20 minutes can make the skin dry and the color can also fade. When using it for the first time, 10–15 minutes is enough. Later the time can be slightly increased as per need.
3. Not washing properly
The color of turmeric remains on the skin. If the face pack is not washed properly, its particles can accumulate in the pores of the skin. This can increase the problem of pimples and blackheads. Always clean the face thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water and pat dry with a soft towel.
4. Uneven application
If turmeric face pack is not applied properly and evenly, then some parts of the face may appear brighter and some may appear dull. While applying face pack, it should be applied evenly with light hands in an upward direction, so that uniform glow is obtained.
5. Ignoring the neck
Often people pay attention only to the face and forget the neck. Whereas tanning and dullness may also occur on the neck. While applying turmeric face pack, apply it till the neck, so that the color of the face and neck looks the same.
6. Selection of wrong base
Water is considered the best base for turmeric face pack, because it retains the properties of turmeric. Milk or rose water are also good options. Adding too many ingredients can reduce the effect of turmeric.
7. Use of soap after pack
Applying soap immediately after removing the turmeric face pack can cause the skin to lose moisture. It is better to apply a light moisturizer after washing the face, so that the skin remains soft and hydrated.
If you use turmeric keeping these things in mind, then turmeric will work as an excellent natural beauty treatment and the skin will get a natural, clean and golden glow.
