Everybody knows that turmeric is one of the most popular spices used in do-it-yourself skincare. You will see it in recipes for face masks, scrubs, hair packs, and more. Thanks to its incredible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it keeps acne at bay. And what’s more, turmeric can even brighten your skin up! It can bring out an au natural and healthy glow to your skin. The only downside is that turmeric stains your skin yellow if not applied correctly. So if you are wondering what you can do to get rid of them, you’ve come to the right place! Getting rid of the yellow stains on your skin is a lot easier than you think. Here are seven ways in which you can do that while retaining that natural haldi glow:
1. Lemon-Sugar Scrub
Lemon and sugar are a brilliant scrub that can be used for everything from a lip scrub to a skin exfoliator and to help darken mehendi. This mixture is also a miraculous solution to getting rid of the yellow stains caused by turmeric powder. All you need to do is mix some lemon juice with equal parts sugar and gently use this solution to scrub your face. Rinse off the mixture with some cold water.
2. Apply Some Olive Or Coconut Oil
First, you need to ensure that you do not directly wash your haldi-covered face in water. Instead, grab a cotton ball or pad and use warm olive oil or coconut oil over the area. Once that process has been completed, wash your face with water. Both of these oils are incredibly beneficial in their own unique ways. Coconut oil is a natural makeup remover, and olive oil is an intense moisturizer. All you really need to do is warm two tablespoons of coconut or olive oil in a microwave for about ten to fifteen seconds. Once the oil is warm enough, massage it into your skin in circular motions for a minute or so. Make sure that you’ve let the oil sit on top of your skin for at least thirty seconds. Then take a cotton pad and use it to wipe off all the oil from your skin. Once you’ve done that. Go get your regular cleanser and wash your face — pat dry with a towel.
3. Use A Cotton Pad Dipped In Milk
If you aren’t a fan of oily skin and don’t want to try the oil solution, try raw milk. You probably think the idea of covering yourself in milk is very unappealing but hear us out. Milk can work as a brilliant toner and cleaner. It is also a natural moisturizer and acts as a hydration booster for those with dry skin. You need to first soak a cloth in a bowl of raw milk. Then you need to wring out any excess milk from the cloth and use it to rub your skin in circular motions. Once all of this is done, you just need to rinse your face with some water and your regular cleanser.
4. Dab A Cotton Pad With Diluted Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is the new rage in skincare these days. You will find it in shampoos, soaps, face washes, and even more. Apart from providing intense nourishment to your skin in numerous ways, apple cider vinegar (ACV) can also help get rid of any yellowness caused by the application of haldi. Mix equal parts of ACV and water and then gently dab the solution over your skin with a cotton pad or ball. Leave it on for ten minutes at the maximum, and then wash off your face with cool water.
5. Try A Honey-Lemon Mask
When life hands you lemons, turn them into a DIY face mask! Lemon juice and honey make the perfect combo because honey can provide the intense moisture that lemon does not. Simply using lemon in skin care can cause skin irritation and more. You must dilute it or mix it with another gentler ingredient. This combination works because honey will help brighten your complexion, while lemon will help get rid of the turmeric stains. Mix one tablespoon of honey with around two or three drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Apply this mask over your face and leave it for about ten to fifteen minutes. Once this is done, wipe the face mask off with a warm washcloth. This is one of the most accurate and surefire ways to get rid of haldi stains.
6. Use Makeup Remover
If you’re not a fan of the do-it-yourself recipes that we have suggested earlier, then you can always opt for an ever-popular makeup cleanser. If your makeup remover is a pro at getting rid of challenging lipstick stains or heavy foundation stains, then haldi doesn’t stand a chance! Once you’ve finished wiping the makeup remover off your face with a cotton pad, ensure that you wash your skin with some cool plain water to get the squeaky clean pores of your dreams.
7. Dilute Baking Soda In Water And Use It
Baking soda is enriched with bleaching properties and is one of the most effective techniques to get rid of turmeric stains. You just need to mix a small amount of baking soda with some water and scrub it gently over the affected area. Once that is done, wash it off with water and some face wash. Use this technique to get rid of any haldi stains that might be present around your nails. Avoid using baking soda if you have dry or sensitive skin.
