Here’s how to make a honey-yeast DIY face mask:

  1. Use two tea bags to brew a cup of chamomile tea and let it cool
  2. Meanwhile, mix together one tablespoon of honey and one teaspoon of nutritional yeast

  3. Add one tablespoon of turmeric
  4. Mix well together
  5. Apply and leave on for just about 10 minutes
