Turmeric infused Almond Oil {DIY}

turmeric and saffron infused almond oil

This was a DIY I have done like almost an year back. But, I did not share it because I wanted to try out the oil and wanted to report back the effects. So, let's have a look at the ingredients.

Ingredients
Almond oil - 100ml
Turmeric - 1 tbsp
Saffron - a pinch of strands

Method
Put all the ingredients in a glass bottle/jar and leave for a month undisturbed. Shake the bottle once in a day and if possible leave in direct sunlight for an hour or two everyday. After the stipulated period, strain the oil and it's ready to use.

Results
I have to say that it has not been long since I have started using the oil so can not really report back on everything.

For the starters, it did help with some of my breakouts. I used to spot-apply the oil on the suspicious bumps and they used to disappear by the next morning.

As regards to complexion changes, I do not really think I have noticed any changes yet. Also, the blemishes on my neck do not really look any different but I do keep on bothering the skin repeatedly without letting it heal!

I shall keep on trying it and will report back if I see any changes.

Have you used any turmeric infused facial oils?

    This sounds interesting! I have a bottle of sesame oil lying around, should try making an infused oil with it.

    Just the concept pf turmeric infused oil is sounding too good. Will definitely try this but my skin is extremely oily will almond oil be okay for me to use.
