Hi hi! How are you? I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We\u2019re on a little trip – check out IG stories<\/a> for all of the details! – and I\u2019m popping in to share one of my favorite beauty DIYs: Turmeric Face Scrub.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Turmeric is a vibrant yellow spice that comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant. It\u2019s in the ginger family, and has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese herbalism for its functional properties.* One of the key compounds in turmeric is curcumin, which is known\u00a0as a powerful free radical scavenger.* It also supports a balanced immune system, a balanced response to environmental stressors, and possesses neuroprotective attributes.*<\/p>\n

Beyond its traditional culinary uses, turmeric can be incorporated into your daily routine in various ways. You can find turmeric supplements in the form of capsules or powders, which can be added to smoothies, juices, soups, or even sprinkled over roasted vegetables or eggs. Golden milk is made by combining turmeric with warm milk and spices like ginger and cinnamon, and it is a soothing and nourishing option. It\u2019s one of my favorite ways to wind down for the day!<\/p>\n

Turmeric can also be used topically as a facial scrub, which is what I\u2019m sharing today!\u00a0Because of its protective benefits against environmental stressors, turmeric may help with skin benefits as well.*<\/p>\n

**It’s important to note that it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before adding any new supplement or product to your routine, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications.***<\/em><\/p>\n

How to Make Turmeric Face Scrub<\/h2>\n

You can totally buy turmeric face scrub, but it tends to be on the pricey side and can contain ingredients you may not want to put on your skin. I\u2019m a huge fan of beauty DIYs because you know exactly what\u2019s going into these products and you can personalize them according your unique needs and preferences.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Turmeric Face Scrub Ingredients<\/h3>\n

I LOVE homemade body and facial scrubs, especially because I usually have all of the ingredients on hand:<\/p>\n

Coconut sugar: for gentle exfoliation<\/p>\n

Almond oil (coconut oil, honey, and olive oil work well, too): for moisture and skin texture<\/p>\n

Vitamin E: for nutrients and healing properties<\/p>\n

Essential oils: for scent! Just add a couple of drops and they\u2019re totally optional<\/p>\n

Turmeric: I love this in scrubs since it can help with discoloration, along with an antioxidant boost<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n

Step 1<\/p>\n

To create a simple turmeric facial scrub, mix 1\/2 cup of brown sugar and half a cup of oil into a bowl. Add 1 dropper of vitamin E. Mix to combine.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2<\/p>\n

Add 1 capsule of turmeric (or 1\/2 teaspoon) and a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil. (Be careful with citrus-based oils, as they can cause photosensitivity. If you\u2019re sensitive to oils, you can always skip them for facial scrubs and simply use them for body scrubs or not at all.)<\/p>\n

Step 3<\/p>\n

Gently massage the scrub onto your face, let it sit for a few minutes, and then rinse off for a refreshed and glowing complexion. This is the same basic recipe I use for body scrubs.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The cute jar are from Amazon, and I store the jars of homemade scrub in the fridge, so that they\u2019re cooling and super refreshing when I use them!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I order all of my homemade skin care products (plus lots of our favorite pantry staples, body care, pet care items, and snacks) from NOW<\/a>. They have a great selection and I know that their products are responsibly-sourced, tested thoroughly, and they have amazing prices. It\u2019s a brand that we\u2019ve loved and trusted for many years. You can also use my code FITNESSISTA20 for 20% off your order!<\/p>\n
