The woman shared her love for homemade face masks in a post on Reddit’s Skincare Addiction forum, which has nearly 4 million members.
BANISH BLACKHEADS
She said she routinely uses two methods to visibly improve the appearance of her skin.
“Raw local honey,” she said, writing below the name Galaxyofembers.
“My skin finds honey very soothing and hydrating.
“I have dry skin, so whenever I’m feeling a little dehydrated or flaky, I just rub this on my skin for 30-60 minutes and it makes me feel soft and plump again.”
She said the ingredient can be combined with other kitchen products for an overnight face mask.
“Plain Greek yogurt, honey and turmeric,” she said.
“Yogurt works great for my blackheads! Just add a little bit of turmeric.
“I only put this mask on at night because it does stain a little bit, but the next morning when I wake up it’s always completely gone.
“Sometimes I add a little aloe vera gel and/or ground oatmeal.”
INCREDIBLE INGREDIENTS
Many people gave the post a positive rating and one commenter recommended using a damp microfiber cloth to gently remove any stains.
At Walmart, plain Greek yogurt is $3.72, raw honey is $5.32, and turmeric is $2.12.
According to HealthlineYogurt can be good for hydrating the skin, while honey helps with problems such as dryness, eczema and psoriasis.
The natural ingredient can also help combat the signs of aging by restoring the top layer of skin.
Turmeric is often used to treat acne and psoriasis because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

For a face mask, you only need half a cup of yogurt along with one teaspoon of honey and half a teaspoon of ground turmeric.
The homemade blackhead face mask was developed after UK-based nurse Sian Bassett shared a similar recommendation with The US Sun.
She said natural ingredients like honey and turmeric are “fantastic” for a glowing complexion.
She also advised minimizing stress to keep the skin looking healthy.
