TURMERIC AND CHAMOMILE ACNE TREATMENT MASK
If you've been following me for a while, you'll know that turmeric is a favourite round here. This effective little root doesn't just work from the inside out — it also works wonders for your skin. Thank you to Dr. Nigma Talib for this spot treatment recipe featuring the golden wonder.

What you'll need
2 tsp turmeric
1 chamomile tea bag
1 tsp aloe vera gel
Instructions
Place the chamomile tea bag into a regular-sized mug and fill to about one third with hot water. Brew for 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove the bag and add the turmeric and aloe vera. Mix into a paste.
Dab directly onto any blemishes or acne scars. Leave for 30 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water.
Cleanse the skin as normal.
Although turmeric is magic, it is also terribly staining. Be very careful when using this acne treatment — it could easily get all over your clothes. You could wear an apron or improvise a napkin bib to prevent any stains, but if the pigmented spice ends up on your clothes anyway, you could try getting it off with lemon.
