Starfruit + Turmeric Spot Treatment Mask
Try it: In the summer months, when starfruit is in season and sweat-induced breakouts are at an all-time high

Why it works: Starfruit is rich in vitamin A, which helps control oil, and vitamin C, which acts as a natural protector against sun damage. Since sun exposure and oil are two of the biggest culprits behind breakouts, slathering this on will help keep acne at bay.

Ingredients:
1 starfruit
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon turmeric

The Look-Younger-Instantly Turmeric Face Mask
Try it: When you want to use your old college ID for a student discount

Why it works: Studies show that wrinkles aren't the No. 1 sign of aging -- that distinction belongs to uneven skin tone. This mask helps even out too-rosy cheeks and lighten signs of sun damage. The citric acid in lemons helps fade dark spots, while honey hydrates and prevents redness.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons rolled oats (ground into oat flour in food processor)
1 tablespoon manuka honey
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 squeeze fresh lemon juice

Coconut + Turmeric Face Mask for Parched Skin
Try it: On your wind-whipped skin during the winter months

Why it works: By now, you probably already know the benefits of adding a little coconut oil to your beauty routine, but for the uninitiated: Coconut oil contains healthy fatty acids that deeply hydrate dry skin. Slather this coconut and turmeric face mask on when your skin needs extra hydration — like when your anti-aging or acne creams cause dry patches.

Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
A few drops honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil

Wrinkle-Fighting Tomato + Turmeric Face Mask
Try it: When your fountain of youth access card is denied

Why it works: Tomatoes contain lycopene, a free radical fighter that also gives them their red color. Studies have shown that lycopene can prevent sun damage when applied topically. By reducing free radical damage, applying tomatoes to the skin can slow down the aging process by warding off wrinkles.

Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon rice powder
1 tablespoon raw milk
1 tablespoon tomato juice

Hydrating Avocado + Turmeric Mask
Try it: When all signs (peeling, tightness and general discomfort) point to dehydrated skin

Why it works: Avocado is more than just a guacstar; the healthy fats in its fleshy meat work topically as a moisturizer, while vitamin C illuminates skin from within.

Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon avocado
1 teaspoon yogurt

Directions: Visit Bellatory
