</a><p>Turmeric face masks</a> have been popping up all over social media, and this is one social media beauty trend we can get behind! Turmeric - and yes, you pronounce the "r" - is a spice commonly used in curries, comes from the ginger family, and is also used as a fabric dye. But it has a variety of skin and hair benefits, too! </p><br /><p>For instance, turmeric is great for hair growth when you drink it with milk and honey</a>. Or, alternatively, you can get rid of facial hair by using it as a mask and exfoliating with it. It's also great for helping with cramps during that time of the month and for a bloated stomach or puffiness under the eyes. Just beware, though - after trying it out, the turmeric did stain my skin a bright Simpson yellow until I showered! </p><br /><p>Check out a few different recipes</a> we love that include turmeric, then let us know in the comments if you have any favorite uses for it! </p><br /><p>On Kirbie: Rebecca Minkoff</p><br />
