For this week’s Pinterest Test, I wanted to try something to do with beauty. I figured a homemade face mask would be perfect since they’re usually made from ingredients that everyone has around the house at all times. Â
As I was scrolling through Pinterest, looking for the perfect mask to try, I came across a turmeric face mask that claimed to give you glowing skin, and help with acne, rosacea, eczema, and dark circles. Â This seemed to be the perfect one since the person I was testing this on had all of those problems. Â (For the pin click here). Â And there were only 3 ingredients (but I used a fourth; see below)!
So, to begin, I laid out all the ingredients I needed. Â You’ll notice that I added some rice flour as part of my ingredients to give the mask a bit more of a paste-like consistency.
Next, I simply mixed all my ingredients in a small bowl until I got the desired consistency.
Now it was time to apply the mask. Â So, here’s a picture of what her skin looked like before.
Here’s a picture of what the mask looks like when it’s applied to the face. Â Since I didn’t have a brush to apply it with, I used a makeup sponge to spread it all over her face.
After 20 minutes, she went to wash it off with cool water and dabbed her face dry. Â Here is the result.
If you can’t tell her face is yellow! Â I knew turmeric stained, but I didn’t think it would stain her face! Â Let’s just say the next day at school wasn’t a very fun day for this girl…..
So, this Pinterest test was a big fat FAIL!
