DIY Turkish Face Mask Recipes You Need to Try

Other than small waists and surprisingly big breasts, Turkish women are also known for their organic skincare. They’re creative and resourceful when it comes to pampering. The Turkish face mask or Turkish coffee face mask has come to be known all around the world lately.

But there is much more to Turkish beauty than coffee scrubs. Every single thing in a vegetarian diet is a potential ingredient for an organic Turkish face mask. Below are the 6 most popular and organic Turkish face mask recipes to add to your skincare routine.

The mask is ideal for flaky and dry skin with a dull texture. And it’s better to have a steam bath or face steam before the application.

You don’t need to put anything else on your face after the application. Remember that exfoliation can be irritating to your face.
