Okay I know this is a old post... but I recently read it when I was lurking in the boards and doing some searches. I tried the turmeric paste today, and I didn't get much of a staining at all. So I thought I would share how I went about itUsed:
1 tbs. turmeric powder
1 tbs. Chickpea flour
1.5 tbs yogurt
Left on for about 30-45 minutes
Use tepid water to pat face, after 10 seconds wash with just water.
Pat dry
Use rose water as a toner to get the rest of the yellow tinge off
Is anyone still doing this? I felt that it left my skin incredibly soft (esp after the toner), and my face looked a lot less redder.
Hi,
sorry to dig out an old thread too hehe..
Im a chinese with fair skinned and has just started to learn about this wonderful remedy!
But i just want to say, i simply love the turmeric powder! I have been applying on the whole face daily for 5-10 mins, and does get the staining yellow on my face. I applied it to the whole face as i have read that south indian ladies has been applying the powder with coconut oil to the whole face daily for 5-10 mins, for a glowing complexion! That is why i dont mind to apply to the whole face instead for spot treatment.
Sometimes, i will mix the turmeric powder with green bean powder, then with a drop of lavender esential, and most of the time i would mix the turmeric powder with pearl powder and a drop of lavendar oil.
I have a question, i can do this paste mask of just green bean powder and turmeric on daily basis?
Have also noticed that mixing green bean powder with turmeric, the yellow staining is not that obvious. =)
Another good remedy to share with all , is that using Neems leaves together with turmeric powder as a spot treatment for Acne. The neems leaves will have to be grinded into powder in order for smooth applications. However, using aloe vera gel to make the paste and allow the paste to stick onto the face. HTH ! 🙂 Will have to wash it off before you sleep in order not to dirty your pillow. hee
I am using a turmeric cream for a month now, but haven't seen any results. I apply it every morning if I am not going out as it leaves a yellow stain behind, and sometimes I do apply it at night. I'll stick to it til the I ran out of the tube.. hopefully something good happens afterwards...
Sorry, I'm kind of confused. So.. do you mix it with water to make it into a paste then apply it on my face overnight? Thanks.
You can apply the turmeric or ingest it, either way it works.

Don't use the creams. Those are concentrated with oils and all that. It's better to use the actual turmeric powder.
Have I been misinterpreting some posts, or is part of the "magic" actually the turmeric "dying" the skin? Because I've been using this mask (turmeric, red sandalwood, tea tree oil, and honey) every day on just my blemishes and hyperpigmented scars, but also on a few entire areas (like in between my eyes and one cheek) where there are multiple new and old hyperpigmented spots. I could see how it's good/okay if just the specific spots are dyed to match your skin tone, but I wouldn't want whole parts of my face awkwardly dyed yellow! Anyone know if it's actually dying the skin or just helping the natural pigment return to scars?
where can i buy turmeric powder does anyone know is it true only in asian stores or any kind of grocery im from LA so if anyone knows a store,but i keep reading u can buy it anywhere it doesnt matter even target what setion of the ile would it be and how much does it cost.
I have never posted a thing , just take a look around if there is some cure for my persistent acne!! but when i saw this topic it just clicked ! Im from Vietnam and we really have been using turmeric for decades to fight acne and most of all to prevent/minimize the aftermath consequences of spots!! 4 years ago when i first had a spot , my cousin was using it to treat her face on every new spots she had at the time , i was laughing coz i think that was kinda unproven traditional convention that we Vietnamese use to treat spots!! But kill me her face skin now looks just perfect , every time a spot comes up , she applies turmeric on it ( its a turmeric roots , and she just rub it onto every spot she has ! ) It leaves a yellow mark on it , dont wash it off , leave it as long as u can and re apply it whenever possible ! and the mark and scar is no more !!!
I think this is my first post after 4-5 years looking around at this website , just think that it really helps , i regretted not taking it , hope you guys not to make the same mistake~~~~
good luck to us all , to thrive under our life !!!!!!!!!
one more thing guys,,,i really do thing it should only work when u got a spot coming up, then u apply turmeric , it prevents marks and scars but may not be effective when u guys already got those red marks and scars !!! Its the same when ppl got an open-wounded we use turmeric as well. So when u got a new spot , put turmeric on it , and it sure would help !!
best wishes
will this leave the texture of your skin smooth and very clear afterwards anybody?
YES SO SMOOTH!!! Clear.. um I noticed a lot of redness reduced greatly, but the turmeric will stain your skin yellow. You need to rinse it off really well. If it doesn't come off, wash with some soap. Try to leave it on less than an hour, that way the staining won't be as severe. But I LOVE TURMERIC !!! It has done wonders for me. I apply it externally and also make turmeric tea that i drink once a day.
The mask I try to use about 2 times a week.
I mix turmeric (from the spice section in kroger, I also buy organic turmeric from Sprouts that I sometimes use on my face. But I mostly use the organic internally)
With a lime juice, and a bit of honey to make a paste. I prefer for it to be kinda like pudding consistency. I apply it to my face and leave it on for about 45 min to an hour. Then just rinse, rinse, rinse! If still won't come off, I just extra gentle Ivory bar soap. That should do it. But I don't really mind the yellow stain that much.
Internally I mix
1 tsp of turmeric(mixed with a bit of water and slightly heated)
1 tsp of sweet almond oil
a pinch of cinnamon
1 cup of soy milk(i use vanilla flavored from sam's)
Just mix all that up and heat it on the stove top .. Do not boil!! Just heat and whisk it all together.. then enjoy!! It truly is a delicious beverage! This has done WONDERS for my face!! And my over all skin feels soooooooo soft!
I also take 250 mg of Niacin, and 3 omega 3,6,9 pills a day. This has really really really worked for me!! My acne is 85% better and it has only been a month. I am positive that with this regimen I will be able to get rid of acne completely! But I didn't notice much of a change till I added the turmeric and niacin.
Topically, I use Ivory Bar soap(super cheap like 3 bars for 2 bucks) and Lac hydrin 5 lotion. I try to only wash my face once a day.
Well I hope this helps someone!!
I know this is an old post, but I would like to add that if you plan on taking turmeric internally, you must add black pepper. Turmeric is not very bioavailable unless mixed with black pepper. I initially started taking turmeric because of my back problems/arthritis. Not only did it greatly reduce my pain, but it also cleared up my face. Turmeric is a miracle spice. I add 1 tablespoon of turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to milk. I drink this every morning and evening. Turmeric has so many benefits that I truly believe everyone should take it on a daily basis.
Hey guys 
I know this is an old post but I just wanted to share some advice. You can all get out of looking like a Simpson by mixing the turmeric into a paste. I mix turmeric with milk and honey and besan mix it into a thick paste so it is like a mask. Leave it on for 20 minutes and wash it off. No yellow=no simpsoness. I am very fair and it works for me!

In a week time... prob not... but dont be disappointed by that... you just have to give turmeric its time and be consitient with it. I've been using turmeric for like a month (give or take a couple of days) and I've seen sooooooo much improvement in my acne- I practically have no new break outs... my scars are clearing up incredibly! i remember i had this large scar of several smaller acne scars near one on my birthmarks(which i really like) and now there almost all gone..... I say this because I used that clump of scars as a guide to see the turmerics effectiveness overtime...
anyway about the skin getting worse the first couple of days- not always true. Everyone's body is different therefor i cant speak on the behalf others... but for me it got better the more i used it 🙂 Just give it a try. and dont get discouraged if at first it taints ur face yellow. Just use baking soda or a gentle, face-frendly soap to get rid of that:)

TRUE! Also mixing it with fat will increase bioavailability.
hey all; new to the forum here 
i just did the turmeric mask (teaspoon of power and water mix) and pasted it on my hyper-pigmentation spots and redness. I waited for 20 minutes and felt the mask harden, almost swelling my skin? I then took a shower with FAIRLY WARM water to wash off the paste using Clinique Facial Soap and immediate my face was RED and swollen even before the applying paste.
Did any of you guys see redness or swollen cheeks when applying this?
Thanks 
I'm optimistic about this clearing my PIH being that I rarely have any new pimples or whiteheads.
I've tried using this but i don't understand how it works, I feel like it just dyes the skin so the red marks are less visible. Like when you get a tan, all it does it cover the marks and spots by evening out the redness...
Idk how it works but all i know is that it does. The staining is only temporary.. and that it depends on how long you take to get rid of it... I've have pictures tracking my progress and it shows how its faded them...only problem is i'm having problems loading them >_<

Just give it a "30 day trial"
Take a before picture and and an after picture after 30 days to see if there is visible improvment with which you're satisfied:)
