The DIY Turmeric “Miracle Mask” That Katie Holmes’ Facialist Swears By

Every time a celebrity spills her skin-care secrets these days, the regimen almost always has some major inflammation-fighting power, whether it's via the topical route—as with Kate Bosworth's de-puffing turmeric ice cubes (a genius skin hack for getting red carpet-ready)—or an inside-out beauty regimen like Alicia Keys' dairy-free diet.

But you don't need to have a Hollywood nutritionist or aesthetician on speed dial to get a paparazzi-ready glow. Celebrity facialist Cecilia Wong says it's possible to get serious results with a four-ingredient mask you can make at home.
