Unmask your stress with homemade recipes
Feeling stressed? Pimples and blackheads breaking out from homework? Try one of these easy homemade mask recipes tried and tested by the Epic! All ingredients are common household items easily purchased in any grocery store, so don’t worry about spending hours to find that one specific exotic oil.
My face felt especially smooth after this mask. The grains of turmeric within the honey seem to serve as an exfoliant, scrubbing off the dead skin from my face. Like my friends and online recipes have mentioned, turmeric dyes the skin yellow. Luckily, I easily removed the yellowness with a diluted milk solution rinse as suggested by the internet. Additionally, my face radiated warmth for a period of time afterward, but it felt comfortable.
