I found a home remedy for skin blemishes, it is a paste of turmeric powder, honey and lime juice, but they do not say the amount of each item and how long do you have to keep the mask


Turmeric is a plant native to the tropical regions of southern Asia. It has been used for thousands of years in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine.

Lemon juice is said to be a very effective skin cleanser. It is rich in vitamin C and can keep your skin clear of blackheads and pimples. Lemon juice may also be applied by itself to treat facial blemishes and light scars. To do this you have to apply the juice to your skin and leave it on for an hour before rinsing with warm water. Drinking a mixture of lemon of lemon juice and water can help to detoxify your body. This too has a beneficial effect on your skin.

Honey when applied to the skin, forms a protective layer that helps the skin to retain moisture. This makes honey a good antidote to dry skin. It does not leave a greasy residue and so can safely be used by those with oily skin. Honey is said to have remarkable curative properties and is rich in antioxidants.

Turmeric powder when combined with lemon juice and honey is reputed to be a very effective treatment for facial blemishes. A mask made from these ingredients is said to draw out impurities from the pores of your skin and reduce skin blemishes on the face.

To make this face mask, you need to mix together 2 tbsp. of honey, 1 tsp. of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of turmeric powder. Apply this paste to your face, spreading it evenly and leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Pregnant and nursing women should consult a doctor before using a turmeric face mask. The same holds true for women who are trying to conceive.

As with all herbal preparations, you should apply a bit of this mixture on a small area on the back of your hand to test for any allergic reactions before using it on your face.
