bowl till it forms a smooth lump free pulp.

1/2 tsp. of baking soda and 1/2 tsp. of turmeric powder and mix the ingredients
thoroughly.
If
you feel the mixture is too thick to apply, add a little water. Wash your face
with a mild soap and use a soft towel to pat it dry. Apply the mask onto your
face using a make-up brush, as otherwise the turmeric can leave yellow stains
on fingers. The baking soda may sting slightly, but you don’t need to get
alarmed.
Let
the mask sit on your face for 10-15 minutes and then wash your face with
lukewarm water without using any soap this time. Pat your face dry and apply a
moisturizer of your choice to prevent your sebaceous glands to go overdrive and
produce excess of oils to make up for lack of the oils.
This will reduce the acne and pimple resulting in glowing face.
