Great DIY face mask for acne

Before my wedding I was a little crazed when it came to my skin...and other things. :) I ended up spending what I'm sure came out to a couple thousand dollars on supplements and facial products in an attempt to clear up my skin before the big day. I wish I knew then what I know now!

My amazing husband kept telling me that in India women will use Tumeric on their face because of its anti-bacterial properties. I thought he was just being a punk and wanted my face to turn yellow. Turns out that was part of it...lol. But it actually works wonders for your skin if you turn it into a mask with baking soda and lemon juice. The lemon juice has a slight acidity that will also provide exfoliation. I use this mask every other night now and I use it as a spot treatment for problem acne. Because of the stress of planning a wedding in two and a half months, I had cystic acne as well as the normal little bumps. This has worked wonders for me! My skin is pretty much break out free!

The wonder mask (only turns your skin slightly yellow if you use too much tumeric, and it washes off with face wash)
1/8 cup baking soda, 1/2 tsp tumeric and enough lemon juice to make it into a mask. You mix it up, apply it to your freshly washed face, leave it on until it dries and then rinse it off. Then apply a light moisturizer and you're done! I save the left overs in the fridge and use it again in a day or so. It can dry out your skin if you use it too much, so don't overdo it. Everyone's face is different, but it has worked for me. I hope it works for you!
