Did you know that turmeric is effective not only to drink and eat but also to apply to the skin to handle acne, for example, reduce scarring or iron out wrinkles?

Turmeric is an eye-catching orange color spice with a distinct earthy aroma. It is a popular spice in Middle-East and South-East Asia, especially in its homeland of India. Furthermore, its use is not limited only to the kitchen; it gets added to cosmetics and hair coloring agents used in religious rituals and weddings.

I mainly brought turmeric to the attention due to its enormous and research-supported health benefits. For example, these spices help the arteries stay clean, and the liver helps with the toxins. Turmeric reduces joint pains and reduces the likelihood of cancer developing. All this thanks to curcumin - a powerful antiseptic and antioxidant.

It turned out that it might come to the rescue when it came, to the beautiful skin and hair. Instead of wasting your budget on synthetic foods that may contain harmful chemicals, try some turmeric beauty recipes.

For Skin Acne Removal

Thanks to curcumin, because of its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties of these spices are effective as a natural remedy for combating rashes and annoying single pimples that occur here and there. It can relieve inflammation of the skin. To cure injured areas of the home, mix turmeric with some milk and then lubricate it on your face (if your skin is dark) or have a rash. The amount depends on your countenance as turmeric has a strong coloring effect, so you need to use them carefully, especially if you have alight skin. Wash off with warm water after 10-15 minutes. This mask is also recommended for people with oily skin because it regulates the sebaceous glands.

The same masks, and in general, the use of turmeric possibly has positive effects:

Rejuvenating and preventing wrinkles

As an antioxidant, turmeric helps prevent oxidative stresses caused by free radicals. Free radicals are, namely the cause of wrinkles, inflammation, and the development of infections. Turmeric can neutralize free radicals, increase the production of antioxidant enzymes and inhibit lipid peroxidation.

Illumination of blemishes or stretch marks  

Also here, curcumin is handy - it can reduce excess production of melanin, which is responsible for darkening the skin, forming age stains, uneven areas, and acne lesions. Unlike lemon which is also an effective natural remedy for lightening dark spots, turmeric does not let the skin dehydrate.

Hair loss protection

It is said that the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric address problems that cause hair loss such as seborrheic dermatitis. In particular, turmeric's potent antioxidant properties reduce the harmful effects of UV radiation that can cause seborrheic dermatitis.

One more time 

Turmeric has a strong color effect so use it carefully, especially if you have light skin. While you are busy with your work, try this turmeric-ginger detox tea. By the way, ginger is not only here for the taste and improvement of the detox effect. Ginger or pepper is needed to activate curcumin, which otherwise gets absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract.
