Turmeric is a plant in the ginger family, but the word also refers to the yellow powder that comes from the plant's rhizome. "Turmeric is a staple in Ayurvedic medicine," explains cosmetic chemist and founder of BeautyStat Ron Robinson.
For some time now, turmeric has become very common as part of the most Instagrammable food and drink, however, it is time for you to know that it is also excellent for beauty.
According to Allure, scientific studies have shown that curcumin, found in turmeric, can help wounds heal faster by decreasing inflammation and oxidation," explains dermatologist Anne Harris Collier.
But that's just the beginning. Dr. Collier adds that turmeric's anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial qualities can target facial pores and soothe skin, helping to clear up acne breakouts. Ultimately, this also reduces acne scarring, as well as builds collagen, allowing aging skin to appear firmer and more vibrant.
On the other hand, it has also been found that turmeric contains properties that benefit the brightness and vitality of the face, so do not hesitate to use it in your homemade mask or look for a cosmetic product that contains it.

Additionally, a recent study found that turmeric essential oil in a lotion formulation can brighten skin in three weeks with results lasting just as long. These brilliant benefits are likely the result of powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds working together to heal and enhance skin's natural health.
Combine ½ cup cold milk, ½ cup flour, 2 tablespoons turmeric powder, and 1 tablespoon sea salt (omit if you have dry skin), mix to form a sticky paste. Apply the paste to the face but avoid the eye area. Let it dry for ten to fifteen minutes. The mask will begin to crumble as it dries. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Turmeric is considered a very skin-friendly and tolerable ingredient, but you should always test before including any element in your beauty routine, you can apply a small amount of the product in infusion or mask on the forearm and wait one or two days to see if you develop an allergic reaction; It would likely manifest as irritation, redness, and swelling. On the other hand, if you already know it's allergic when in its edible form, don't even think about applying it topically.
