Here’s a simple and effective Vaseline and Turmeric recipe that’s commonly used for skincare—especially to help with hyperpigmentation, dark spots, acne scars, and dry skin.
🌿 Vaseline and Turmeric Paste Recipe
✅ Ingredients:
-
1 teaspoon Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
-
½ teaspoon turmeric powder (preferably organic or wild turmeric/“kasturi manjal” for skincare)
Optional (to boost benefits):
-
A few drops of lemon juice (for brightening)
-
A few drops of tea tree oil (for acne-prone skin)
-
A few drops of rose water (for a smoother texture)
🥣 Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of Vaseline with ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder.
-
Mix thoroughly until you get a smooth, golden-yellow paste.
-
Apply to clean skin—targeting dark spots, under-eyes, or dry patches.
-
Leave it on for 15–30 minutes (or overnight for dry skin and deep treatment).
-
Gently wipe off with a warm, damp cloth, then cleanse your skin with a mild face wash to remove yellow residue.
⚠️ Tips & Precautions:
-
Staining warning: Turmeric may temporarily stain the skin or fabrics. Use an old pillowcase if applying overnight.
-
Always patch test on a small area first to check for irritation.
-
If you have oily or acne-prone skin, avoid applying thick layers, especially overnight.
-
Use 2–3 times a week for best results—not daily.
