Turmeric Face Mask Review

Hello friends! So I have been wanting to try doing a turmeric face mask to help my acne and help get rid of the redness on my skin. In the past, I've done some research, watched Youtube videos, etc, to learn about the benefits that the turmeric could have for my skin. The other day, I tried it.
So I found a page that said that if I mix lemon juice, yogurt, and turmeric that it would help my problems with my skin. The lemon juice is supposed to tighten my pores (which I have pretty big ones), and to also help my skin be less oily. The yogurt and turmeric are both supposed to help with acne, and the turmeric itself is helpful to reduce the redness in your skin. The page I found that said that also said that the turmeric only reduces redness with usual use, meaning you use the mask two or three times a week. I was thinking well, if I like it then ill use it normally.
So I mixed the yogurt, turmeric, and lemon juice together in a little container and put a layer of the solution covering my whole face. I waited the 10 mins like the page said, but when I rinsed it off, looked in the mirror, my face was a horrifically the same exact color as it was with the mask on; meaning, my face was a yellow-orange color. I proceeded to wash my face two times with my Clinique (something I'm also trying new) face wash and the yellow-orange color faded, but it was still there!! Luckily, the next day, you could barely see the color but I was still upset!
Has this happened to anyone else?! Maybe it is just my skin, or maybe it was that all of the information that I found about turmeric just HAPPENED to forget to warn all of the people that like to experiment and try to help their skin? Like I'm just trying to have good looking skin without makeup! I did not ask for my face to turn yellow! In the end, my recommendation would be to not use turmeric face masks with the same ingredients that I used, maybe try the mask on a different part of your body as a test first, or just not use it, but that is just my opinion.
