Turmeric Powder
Turmeric powder is another ingredient slowly emerging from the kitchen to many people’s beauty regimens. In a comprehensive research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this aromatic from the ginger family has beneficial properties to treat acne, its scars, and other skin conditions while providing a distinctive taste to various dishes.
Turmeric powder has a powerful compound known as curcumin, which is anti-inflammatory and a potent antioxidant. It helps resolve the underlying causes of skin inflammation, reducing breakouts and the appearance of scars.
To get the full skin benefits of turmeric powder, mix two parts with one part of lemon juice or honey. Both added ingredients come with acne-fighting properties, further reinforcing the effectiveness of turmeric powder. Then, apply the paste-like formula all over the face and leave it on to dry up like a mask. To remove, wash with lukewarm water. Doing this routine once every other day would produce a lighter scar appearance and generally glowing skin.
However, turmeric powder can leave unsightly yellow stains on the hands. To prevent this from happening, always wear gloves.
