I’ve been really into trying out new spices lately since I’ve been trying to avoid too much salt. Tumeric has been on my shopping list for a while and I finally bought some for a tea recipe that I found. It aids in digestion and even sinus issues. It’s a bit strong in flavor, so only use a dash. I like to offset the flavor by using some honey and lots of cinnamon. I also love to use it in chicken soup. But did you know that you can use it in a mask? I myself just recently discovered this after getting a painful pimple show up in between my brows. All you need is Tumeric, honey and either milk or yogurt. You can also use oil instead of the dairy if you have super dry skin. This helps with any age spots, acne spots and even dark circles under eyes. Wow! It almost seems too good to be true. Well the thing is, it’s not a miracle worker unless you are consistently using it so that you can see results. I don’t know about you, but I’m heading over to my kitchen right now to make some of this and throw it on. Fair warning though, you will look very yellow!
