Tips

Don’t worry about staining your skin yellow with turmeric face masks, as they contain only a pinch of turmeric powder combined with other ingredients. If you’re still worried, only use a thin layer of the face mask and leave it on for five minutes. If it does stain your face, simply use a sugar face scrub, you can also use witch hazel or apple cider vinegar to remove it! Turmeric stain will disappear completely, leaving you with a bright and exfoliated face.

Yellow nails? It’s much more possible for turmeric to stain your nails rather than your face. To remove fingernail turmeric stains, use a nail brush and gently brush with lemon juice. After two minutes, you can see, your nails will be back to normal again! You can also use disposable gloves when applying the mask if you really don’t have time to use a nail brush and lemon juice. Or better you can use face brush for applying masks!
