We all know of turmeric or haldi as a spice used in Indian cooking, that’s responsible for giving that rich yellow color to the Indian curry. But do you know of the multiple skin benefits, turmeric can provide? No wonder, there is a ritual of smearing the bride’s face with haldi, just before the big day to give her that all natural glowing complexion. So today Zuri brings to you 6 easy face care tips that use turmeric for that bright luminescent skin.
1. Turmeric is loaded with anti oxidants that ward off free radicals and hence prevent spremature ageing of the skin. Besides it also makes for a great exfoliating agent. So take 2 tbsp besan and add a pinch of turmeric to it. Make a thick paste with water and apply on face and neck. Let it dry and then scrub it off with your fingers in gentle circular motion to say hello to a glowing, firmer, younger looking skin.
2. Turmeric also works like wonders to get rid of any pimple scars or inflammation marks. In fact it also reduces oil secretion by the sebaceous glands, hence avoiding the outbreak of pimples altogether. Add some turmeric to 2 tbsp sandalwood powder and make a fine paste with water. Apply to the affected area and rinse off with water after 10 minutes.
