Why These Ingredients Work:

• Turmeric contains curcumin, a natural anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening compound that helps reduce pigmentation, acne scars, and inflammation.

3. Let the mixture cool down completely. Strain the liquid using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass container.

4. Once cooled, mix in 1–2 tablespoons of rose water for added hydration.

5. Pour the final mixture into a spray bottle or airtight container.

6. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
