Acne.org Products
I found the discussion about 'turmeric' tonight and decided to try it. I just mixed some turmeric powder with a little water and applied it all over my face for about 20 mins. I rinsed it off and my face looked a light yellow colour! I was a bit worried but it came off with some foaming cleanser.
Well, i have to say it's made my skin feel really nice and feels calmer than before! I will do this every night from now on! Thanks for sharing the secret of turmeric! I now have hope that i can cure my acne and scars naturally and cheaply!
battwoman04 u can leave it overnight to get the result much faster because it not a acid so it will not burn u but it only stain your mark to yellow but u can wash it of use baby wipe towel or use cleaning soap or bakeing soda work best and result much faster if u use both turmeric and bakeing soda!
Turmeric cure also acne so u don't need use other product but u can use if u want on the morning since u can't put turmeric on the morning because it will not look good when u go out. So u can only put it at night then on the morning wash it with bakeing soda and use your stuff only in the morning everything else let turmeric help u at night and healing.

Yeah its used in Asia a lot. They put it on brides before the wedding and stuff. And its used on cuts etc. since its an antiseptic.
Hi dear, have you used it yourself too? How effective is it? =)
I have not used it to treat acne or anything but its supposed to be effective. Makes you yellow tho.
& if you have a bad cough drink a bit of turmeric mixed in hot milk (make sure it hits your throat). The cough will be gone instantly 
HELP!!!!
i just applied my turmeric powder (mixed with a bit of water) on my face, and when i tried to wash my hands, my fingers, which had touched and also applied the powder on my face, were still stained! i washed with normal hand soap as well as my facial cleanser.
so i quickly washed my face (about 5 mins after applying) with cleanser twice and my face still has a tinge of yellow! my fingers which had now been washed with soap/cleanser at least 4 times has also a slight yellow tinge. in fact, the other fingers which were totally clean before (no contact with the powder) is now also slightly yellowish due to using them to wash my face.
i read that someone used milk, i have no milk in my house and its 2am so i can't get it nearby.
pls pls help!!!!!
Hmm, do you have yogurt? Like someone mentioned they used milk or yogurt to get it off. Some other person mentioned that using oil like Jojoba or Emu will assist in getting the staining off your face. Also someone used daily peeling pads and scrub, I think, to get the staining off. I haven't tried the mask myself yet, so I can't say if these methods will help but this is what people that have tried it said. Hope it helps.
Edit: The OP says to use baking soda or washcloth. Maybe try that too.

While many of us are aware of the numerous benefits of this deep, exotic yellow spice, few incorporate turmeric in our daily use, other than sprinkling a little of it in our daal and subzi. Turmeric, a member of the ginger family, has been used for healing by Ayurvedic means, since time immemorial. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, and is an excellent antiseptic. In addition, it is great for the skin. So before investing in an expensive beauty product, take a look in your kitchen.
The turmeric you get in packets is not the pure form, which is why it is best that you try and find someone who supplies pure turmeric powder, or use the root and make your own paste.
Here are just a few of the various benefits of turmeric:
Reduces Pigmentation
Plagued with pigmentation? Turmeric can help even out your skin tone and colour. Simply apply a little turmeric mixed with cucumber juice or lemon to the affected area. Leave on for fifteen minutes or more, and wash off. Do this everyday, and gradually you will notice your skin colour returning to normal.
Strengthens Bones
Drink a quarter glass turmeric juice every night, with milk. The best way to have this is to take a inch piece of turmeric and boil it with half a glass of milk. Once the milk has turned yellow, remove from fire, let it cool slightly, and sip this. This will cure numerous ailments. Women especially should drink this every night, as it strengthens bones and reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis.
Softens the Body
Turmeric is a wonderful body scrub, which is why Indian brides apply a turmeric and gram flour (besan) mix to their entire body, the morning of the wedding. It leaves your skin soft, smooth and glowing. Of course, a single application will not really make that much of a difference. Do this regularly, and watch your skin change for the better - much better.
Makes the Skin Supple
If you are planning a pregnancy, apply a mixture of turmeric and malai or turmeric and curd to your stomach and waist before going for a bath. Leave it on for fifteen minutes, and wash off. If desired, you could even apply this mixture after bathing. After you have washed off the soap, apply the malai and haldi mixture, leave it on for five minutes, and wash off only with water. Gently, wipe your stomach with the towel. The sooner you start this routine, the more supple and elastic your skin will become, and after giving birth, you will not be left with unsightly stretch marks.
Inhibits Cell Damage
Turmeric is an excellent anti-oxidant, which essentially means that it stabilizes unstable oxygen molecules. These are known as free radicals, and are what cause damage to cells, leading to ageing and various other diseases such as cancer.
Fights Diarrhoea
Turmeric fights the bacteria that causes diarrhoea, so the next time your stomach starts 'running', reach for some haldi. German health authorities have officially declared turmeric herbal tea to be a cure for loose stools.
Here are 20 reasons to add turmeric to your diet:

All around the world you can now avail of turmeric in the form of teas, capsules, tinctures, lotions, ointments and powder. However, here, you have access to turmeric in its purest form, so make the most use of it.
wow.....this is one i never heard of before.....i bought the powder form in an indian market, and im putting it on my face tonight.....tomorrow, im going to search for the root form also.....
i am a girl who has done EVERYTHING.....i have had MULTIPLE dermabrasions, co2 laser resurfacings, pulse dye laser sessions, radio waves, 11 fraxels, prescription hydroquinone creams, aspirin masks, AHA products, glycolic products etc. etc. etc....all for red marks that ive had for 10 YEARS......(so those of u that think time fades red marks, forget it)
im hoping this will do something....ANY BENEFICIAL EFFECT AT ALL WOULD MAKE ME GET DOWN ON MY KNEES AND RENEW MY FUKIN FAITH IN LIFE...
This sparked my interest. It sounded like an old cure my parents once told me. I asked them about it last night - turns out turmeric is what they were talking about
They told me they both had deep acne scarring but were too poor to afford any treatment. Turmeric was used every night and washed off in the morning. Apparently it cured their scars.
Turmeric may help fade Red Marks (hyperpigmentation left after acne) but...don't be fooled.
Turmeric will do absolutely NOTHING to fill-in and permanently level/remove atrophic (indented, shallow, deep, ice pick, rolling boxcar etc. or any kind of pitted/indented scarring)
.. if you believe your atrophic scars will magically fade away, be prepared to deal with a "magically" Yellow face and huge disappointment.
No offense to the original poster... Turmeric may work great to fade Hyperpigmentation, but this topic should be moved to the Red Mark forum. It does not belong in the scar forum as Red marks are NOT SCARS.

Did you completely disregard Helio's post that is right above yours?
Hey everyone,
Bicarbonate of soda mixed into a paste with a little water gets the stain out! And then just wash with your normal foaming cleanser. If you use a flat ended cosmetic cotton bud to apply turmeric paste to your face you will not stain your hands! :-0
thanks! i havent had the chance to buy it today, i also do not have yoghurt in my house as suggested by another forumer, but after washing my face again when i woke up, the yellow tinge is more or less gone. though i felt that there was still a teeny weeny bit of yellow, perhaps a psychological thing. 
that also got me thinking about what someone wrote earlier in this thread, would the yellow turmeric and my yellow asian skin really add up to me being more yellow?! indians are the main users of this skincare method, and yellow turmeric might have a more complementing effect on their brown skin, as well as for those with white skin.
actually im getting a bit lazy just thinking that i not only have to mix the turmeric powder into a paste, which applying it wasnt that a breeze as bits and pieces of remnants would fall off (leaving the yellow stain on the skin to work) so i have to apply in the toilet and clean up the sink and surrounding areas after that, and then now i have to mix a bicarbonate paste to wash off the stains. would the bicarbonate be drying for the skin?
i guess that says im not that desperate at this point to be willing to put in that little more effort. i have actually been eyeing led lights to help in my skin, and as crazy as it is, i think i am more willing to spend the money on lights (~$500) than spend the time and effort on the turmeric! 
oh yes, having said that, with the short 5 mins of putting the turmeric paste on my skin (cheeks, forehead, chin), this bulging pimple which had been a resident for days did decrease a little. i would think its due to the turmeric as i had not applied any other product on it that night.
