Method 8: Turmeric & Gram Flour

Method 8: Turmeric & Gram Flour

This is probably the most popular homemade mask used in India to lighten skin naturally. Turmeric combined with gram flour can deal with your skin troubles and give you a brighter skin tone.

While the turmeric breaks down melanin cells, the gram flour acts as an exfoliant and cleanser to clear away dead skin cells and impurities. It also helps absorb excess oil, thus making it a hit for people with oily skin.

Things you’ll need:


Organic turmeric powder (lightens skin) – ½ teaspoon
Gram flour (exfoliates and cleanses skin) – 2 tablespoons
Water – enough to make a paste
Step 1. Combine the three ingredientsCombine turmeric powder, gram flour, and water
Put ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder in a bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of gram flour to it.

Step 2. Mix well & apply it on your face and neck twice weeklyBlend thoroughly and apply twice a week for a brighter skin tone
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until you get a lump-free, smooth paste.
Use an applicator brush to apply it on your face and neck. Avoid the eye area.
Scrub your face with the paste for 5 minutes.
Let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with water.
Pat your skin dry and apply a light moisturizer.

Use this mask twice a week to get smooth and radiant skin.
