Now, more than ever, people are becoming aesthetic conscious. Both men and women want to look good but having dark pigmentation patches or skin blemishes can make you feel self-conscious. An even skin tone is one of the most powerful fashion statements one can have. You can spend money on skin lightening products that can be expensive but many people prefer to go down the natural skin lightening route. There are many natural products that can be used to remove a tan, fade dark marks and generally lighten the skin tone.
In this article, you’ll discover how to use inexpensive honey and turmeric powder that you can purchase from your local grocery store to make a face mask that can lighten your skin tone and fade dark blemishes.

Honey and Turmeric Facial Mask
All you need is a bottle of honey (raw organic honey is best) and a bottle of turmeric from your local grocery store’s spice aisle. Use a teaspoon of turmeric powder and a tablespoon of the honey and mix them together in a small bowl or cup. After washing your face with your usual face wash, dry with a clean towel then apply the turmeric face mask. Turmeric stains fabrics so it is best to do this in the bathroom wearing an old t-shirt and be careful not to drop any of the paste on the carpet!
Rub the face mask on your face using gentle circular motions, wash your hands and leave the mask on your face for about 20 minutes. The honey will most likely drip down your face so keep some tissue with you to catch any drips.
After the 20 minutes is up, wash the mask off your face with warm water, do one more wash with your usual face wash and then do a final rinse with cold water to close your pores.
Honey has anti-bacterial properties and turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties so together they will work to draw impurities from your skin and reduce blemishes. Your skin will feel smoother and softer immediately. Use this face mask twice a week and you will start to see that your dark marks are fading after just 3-4 weeks.
Natural remedies are great for removing acne scars and other blemishes but can take longer than other methods so if you want faster results, you may want to try a skin lightening product that targets acne scars such as Meladerm Skin Lightener. Meladerm contains only naturally derived ingredients and comes with a money-back guarantee.
Wao! this is lovely and interesting. Beauty is originated from the natural source.
Amazing.
Although this sounds intresting and possibly could work, there is still a chance that i might just be reading another false article. So to change my mind, im asking for anyone who has tried this “tumeric and honey face mask” to please tell me if it worked, or if i should find something else. This would help me and many readers coming to this site.
Thanks You.
i think im going to try it out…i usually put honey on my face before i go out somewhere special but i never mixed it with tumeric powder. I will let you know if its worth it or just a waste
Ok, I think it works a little on the very dark person, but if you are a white person just using it for red marks…, you will have better luck, with pearl powder, and lemons, if you are already dark it will prob. work but if you are light you will be YELLOW, tumeric stans your teeth and is used to dye clothes, I was making somthing with it and got it on my nails, ya, YELLOW, I had to cut them, and really has anyone herd of a really white person from India or the Phillapiens? They are not known for that, That was not a movie star that could aford the Michel Jackson treatment? NO!, unless you wish to look like you have a good case of jondus, don’t use it, exp. if your really a fair person by birth.
Papaya is good too and Vita C, baking soda, honey, oatmeal, peroxide, good ex. of skin whitening, is the orentals, they are naturally darker, and tan very easy and some have a yellow look, what ever they are doing to whiten there skin, they do it well, because some of them are even more white then white people, so people asias share yur know how, I wonder what would happen to a naturaly born fair skinned person if they used your tech. of whitening skin?
j’utilise le curcuma en masque visage depuis qu’il m’a été conseillé par une indienne. J’avoue que c’est super ! Ma peau est devenue très bien. Je suis africaine.
Can I cancel the order within 30 days if I decide to not keep it?
If you’re referring to Meladerm, yes you can return your order within 30 days if you decide not to keep it.
can use dis mask everyday?
Hi Shimaz,
I’d recommend using the mask 2-3 times a week
Hey guys. I’m a girl of Indian origin and have very fair skin. I started using the honey and turmeric mask twice a week to help even my skin tone and it did a fantastic job. I wouldn’t start using turmeric and honey with the expectation of becoming three shades lighter regardless of what your skin color is but I would definitely recommend it be used to even out the skin tone and fade acne scars. Especially if you have fair skin and very visible red acne scars. Also this treatment is very effective in removing a tan (I recommend using lemon juice in mixture). Hope this helps.
I am an african fair to light skinned and i wanna know if this mask actually fades marks and its not another lie would it work and would it make me lighter coz i just want to even out my skin tone and the black marks on my face to go
someone help pleASE!
THANKS
Hi Dina,
Used consistently, honey and turmeric can fade the dark marks on your face. How fast it would work depends on how bad your hyperpigmentation is and how consistent you are with using the mask. For faster results, I suggest you try Meladerm – it contains only naturally derived ingredients and has a 30 day money back guarantee. Click here for Meladerm before and after photos from one of our readers.
Again, you have to be consistent and with any skin lightening method, be sure to always use sunscreen if you want to see results.

Hi there,
I am Asian and I have been using turmeric most of my life. I know for sure that it works for me to get rid of blemish, but it takes time. You will need to be persistent about applying it on your face every night and wash it in the morning. Remember that turmeric stains your clothes, pillow, etc…. if you decided to use it. I heard from other website that if you mix turmeric with goat milk every day will help you get rid of your skin problem as well, but I haven’t tried it yet.
ai
it wirks well if you are white and you have become tanned but it does not work for people who are already dark…that is hwen they were born itself
Hey , i’ve just tried this

Hi Bieyya,
Turmeric stains can be washed off with soap and water. If that doesn’t work, try rubbing a little sugar on your face using wet hands to exfoliate before washing.
I’m a dark skinned African and have used this recipe for a few years now and it works like magic! You notice a difference right away. It does indeed lighten, smoothen n soften the skin n fades dark spots. I’ve introduced it to many people and they’ve all raved at how good it is. My recipe is a little bit different though. Half a tsp of turmeric to 1 tbsp of honey and 1 tbsp of milk or coconut milk.
honey with cinnamon really works with acne scars and black marks, you can alternate with honey and tumeric as well.
I leave this on for several hours when I am at home
Hi,
is this mask safe for use while pregnant?
