This homemade face mask is dying loads of people's faces yellow

Oompa loompa doopity doo.

OH, THE LENGTHS some of us will go to achieve soft, luminous skin.

The latest beauty trend sweeping the internet? Homemade turmeric face masks. (Yes, that turmeric. You know, that spice that dyes everything yellow?)

People are mixing turmeric with water (or, in some cases, natural yoghurt), making a bright yellow mask and slathering it all over their faces.

The spice is said to help with skin conditions like acne and psoriasis, and is apparently good for exfoliation

And now people are trying the masks out to see if they live up to the hype

Only to discover that their skin has been dyed yellow in the process

PSA: if you are white do not try the turmeric face mask!!

My face is bright yellow rn & I'm crying.. But I must say my skin is soft🙃

Last time I trust the Internet. "Make a mask out of turmeric," they said, "It won't turn you yellow," they said. pic.twitter.com/9DUWCTQdRJ

Proceed with caution, everybody

Don't do a turmeric face mask just before going to bed, you will wake up with yellow sheets. You've been warned... 🌟
