Garden of Wisdom's Get Your Glow Back Turmeric Mask is crafted to effectively address blackheads and acne blemishes while also targeting dark spots and hyper-pigmentation concerns. Turmeric, renowned for its healing properties, not only helps to maintain skin moisture but also possesses natural cleansing attributes. We highly recommend trying out this product, as it's consistently among our best-selling offerings.
NOTE When first opened, this mask tends to have a layer of liquid. Think of Greek yogurt with a liquid layer on top. We have changed the consistency of this mask many times but have decided to stick with our recent formula. The liquid will also keep the ingredients moist. Stir it and enjoy.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.

Tetrahydrocurcuminoids are phenolic in nature, acting as antioxidants, protecting against free radicals and preventing the generation of free radicals. Unlike yellow curcuminoids, THC is a colorless compound which can, therefore, be used in color free cosmetic products that currently employ conventional and synthetic antioxidants. Tetrahydrocurcumin has been shown to efficiently inhibit tyrosinase. As such, it is an effective skin lightening agent with multifunctional topical benefits. It has been tested to determine its safety for topical use with no irritant or sensitization side effects.The anti-inflammatory effects of THC combined with their efficient antioxidant action render them useful as ingredients in anti-aging formulations, skin lightening and brightening products and topical formulations designed to maintain general skin health and integrity.

So this mask has never left my face irritated! First turmeric mask to do so since I use tret, AHA, BHA alternating weekly. I usually find my face is super sensitized from these for me to use anything with a scent.
However, this one plays fine with all of the above treatments. It does have a scent, like turmeric, but I do not mind it. I know turmeric can stain but I've left this on for a few hrs by mistake and had no issue with staining or irritation. Masks like this are a luxury item for me but I would definitely repurchase. :)
Thank you so much for this review! :) WE love it!

Gentle and very effective
Both myself (over 50) and my teen daughter use this mask. Its strong enough to clean up my skin and gentle enough for her. She has pretty significant hormonal acne. And although we haven't exactly figured out how to get rid of it entirely, we are getting much help from GOW and this product in particular. It really clears the dead skin cells and reduces my daughter's blackheads. Thanks, GOW!
We very much appreciate your review! :) Thank you!

Calming and soothing... plus smoothing and hydrating!
Woke up with angry skin today - very red and tight and cheeks a bit sore to the touch. I had this in my beauty arsenal for a few months and just remembered I had this when searching my vanity for something to help. Applied a generous amount and let it dry and sit for about 20 minutes. Rinsed off and much to my surprise the redness was GONE! And those crinkles from dry skin? - Also GONE. Believe me, I will never forget about this little hero again and has been upgraded from the back of the vanity drawer to sitting ON the vanity! :)
Thank you so very much for your review! We appreciate it :)

Love this mask
I love everything about this mask. Its gentle on my skin, non-drying, and most importantly, its soothing and effective. Its gentle enough I’ve even used it several days in a row. I’m about to reorder more again, as I like having it on hand in case of skin emergencies!
