Turmeric and Yogurt Face Mask
Brighten your skin with this turmeric and yogurt face mask. It's easy to whip up and the results are amazing!
Face masks are super beneficial for your skin. Depending on the ingredients you choose, you can easily create face masks with a variety of benefits. Whether you skin is looking a little dull or you suffer from occasional breakouts, it's easy to creating a nourishing, brightening face mask.
I love to create these spa like facial treatments with ingredients that you probably already have in your refrigerator or pantry. Like my Lemon Honey Face Mask, Oatmeal Face Mask Recipes or Lightening face mask recipes.
This recipe I'm sharing today has several power packed ingredients, including:
Turmeric
Like a lot of nature's goodness, turmeric is another that is not only really good for you (to eat), but also great for your skin. It has anti-oxidant properties and can help combat occasional breakouts.
Organic Yogurt
Yogurt can be used on it's own as a exfoliating and moisturizing facial treatment. It is great for troubled skin and aging skin. Be sure to choose organic yogurt for your mask. I love using local, raw grass fed yogurt for my masks.
Fuller's Earth Clay
Fuller's Earth Clay, I get mine here, is a popular choice for oily skin. It is great for absorbing excess oils and tighten up your pores.
Essential Oils
Tea Tree Oil has long been known for it's effectiveness for treating occasional breakouts and it's healing properties. This one the first essential oil I tried and one that I wouldn't be without.
I almost always include Lavender Essential Oil in my skin care recipes. It is amazing for supporting healthy skin!
Turmeric can temporarily stain your skin so this is probably a good mask to use before bed. 🙂
And one more note:
This face mask may resemble what you find in the diaper of a healthy, breastfed baby.
But trust me, it's totally worth it!

This looks like a great recipe! I think it's always a good rule of thumb to use beauty products ON your body that you would also be ok putting IN your body. 🙂
I love this mask! I've made it before but this is a good reminder to try it again, especially with all of this winter dryness! Tumeric is amazing...but totally agree, the mask itself can be a little frightening at first glance! Well worth it though! Thanks for sharing!
Visiting from the Merry Monday link party
Thanks Jody!
Hello Mindy! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I follow a very simple skincare routine of sunflower seed oil as a makeup cleanser and shea butter or sunflower seed oil as a moisturizer. My skin has changed a TON over the past 5 years as I changed my diet. I should incorporate face masks into my routine! I don't have access to organic raw yogurt (live in Norway currently) so do you think that plain Greek yogurt would suffice? I have been following you on Pinterest for awhile and really enjoy what you post! 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words, Gabriela! Yes, you can absolutely use Greek yogurt. 🙂 Let me know how it works for you.
We love making our own natural skin products. Thank you for sharing this recipe on the Art of Home-Making Mondays! 🙂
Hi Mindy,
I make a mask out of my own homemade yogurt (from grass fed beef) & local raw unpasteurized honey that I think works great, but I really like the idea of your recipe with turmeric and the essential oils. I am going to try this and see how it works. Thanks for sharing this great idea. Sharing.
This sounds awesome! I love a good face mask. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday!
Hey MIndy,
This looks so useful. My mom used to make me something similar when I was a child. Never got around to making it myself.
This will be such a good go to. Pinning this for later use.
Cheers!
This DIY mask sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing your healthy Turmeric and Yogurt Face Mask with us at the Healthy Living Link Party! I'm pinning and sharing! All the best, Deborah
So interesting. I am just learning more about turmeric.
I was wondering if the turmeric gave you a nice orangy glow! Good idea to apply before bed. This face mask looks so refreshing too!
I'm rushing to the kitchen to grab the ingredients to make this awesome Turmeric and Yogurt Face Mask today! I love these ingredients and can't wait to see how skin benefits from them. Thank you for sharing this and many other natural skin care recipes with us at the Healthy Happy Green Natural Party! I’m Pinning and sharing this!
I love natural beauty products, but I had to chuckle at your comment, "This face mask may resemble what you find in the diaper of a healthy, breastfed baby." Thanks for sharing at the Healthy Living Link Party!
