Your skin is hypersensitive. Use only a pinch of turmeric along with multani mitti n rose water. You can use amba halthi instead of regular turmeric

Turmeric is good as an immunity booster as well as skin tonic. However since it is dry and rough in nature, may not be ideal on a sensitive skin like yours. Also since you said you have oily skin, don’t use malai or curd on your face
Next Steps
Stop turmeric or any strong agents and malai application on your face
Health Tips
Use powder made of basin and green gram flour for repeated face wash
Do not use any cream or moisturiser on face
You could apply Aloe vera for glowing n clean face
