The benefits of turmeric
In addition to its taste, turmeric has been recognized for millennia for its health benefits. Not only does it contain a high amount of antioxidants, but it is also a powerful anti-inflammatory. These are two properties that translate very well into the beauty world, and they are also found in many commercial products.
It’s a tradition for Indian women to smear themselves in turmeric paste from head to toe just before their wedding, in order to achieve the most beautiful skin possible for their big day!
By using it as a mask, turmeric helps to:
- Reduce inflammation (e.g. for bags under the eyes).
- Even out skin tone.
- Give a radiant effect to the skin.
- Fade pigment spots.
Turmeric is also credited with improving specific skin problems, such as acne and eczema.
