    Why is turmeric so effective in treating several skin conditions?

    Turmeric is an indispensable spice that is used in several cultures across the world for its medicinal benefits. It is also a culinary staple and is a regular ingredient in traditional Indian cooking. The benefits of turmeric, however, do not stop there, because it has many other properties that make it highly effective in treating several skin conditions. Read on to know more.

    Effective ingredient in treating puffiness and under-eye dark circles

    Sleep deprivation, pigmentation, sun exposure are a few of the reasons that contribute to dark circles. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and skin lightening properties making it effective in treating dark circles and puffy eyes. Make a paste with two teaspoons of turmeric powder, one tablespoon curd and a few drops of lemon juice. Apply it around the eyes and rinse after 15 minutes.

    Contains curcumin that lightens blemishes and acne scars

    The anti-inflammatory property of turmeric is not just effective on dark circles, it also reduces stubborn acne marks. Curcumin present in this yellow spice is an active ingredient and is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin works in lightening spots and blemishes by reducing the excess production of melanin, which in turn lightens marks and helps with an even skin tone.

    Turmeric, chick pea face pack helps in reducing facial hair

    Though there is no research that proves this yet but many cultures across the world use turmeric as a remedy to reduce facial hair. For this, mix some turmeric powder with chickpea flour and rosewater. Apply this face pack and leave it on for 10-15 minutes, until it dries up. Rinse with cold water. For best results, do this regularly for a month.

    Reverses damage caused by harmful free radicals, prevents premature aging

    The curcumin present in turmeric is an excellent antioxidant and it helps reverse the damage caused by harmful free radicals, which are responsible for premature signs of aging. Make your own face pack using one teaspoon of turmeric powder, milk and honey. Apply the paste on the face and rinse after some time. Use this face pack twice a week for glowing, wrinkle-free skin.
