Best Beauty Benefits of Turmeric

Turmeric, the popular spice used in Asian countries, has a rich history, which exudes its health benefits. Scientifically known as Curcuma longa, this spice is derived by grinding the leaves of the Curcuma Longa plant. Turmeric is rightly called a boon for mankind due its immense healing properties.

Benefits of Turmeric:

Acne: 
Acne is a universal problem people face. The bacteria and dirt gets clogged in the skin pores, and breaks out in the form of pimples. Turmeric helps cure acne and helps maintain clear skin. It also controls acne causing sebum, leading to reduction in pimples.

Pigmentation:
Hormonal changes, over exposure to sunlight, and the body producing too much melanin, are some of the reasons that cause pigmentation on the skin. Consistent use of turmeric helps reduce pigmentation.

Bruises: 
Children are more prone to bruises and minor cuts. Just applying turmeric powder on such minor cuts helps in faster healing of the wounds.

Glowing Skin: 
Regular use of turmeric brightens the skin tone, and gives a glow to the face.

Burn marks: 
Turmeric also helps in faster healing and lightening of burn marks.

Stretch Marks: 
Stretch marks especially bother young mothers. Application of turmeric on fresh stretch marks will help lighten the stretch marks to a considerable extent.

Moisturizes: 
Turmeric is an excellent ingredient to help fight dry skin. Apply it with milk to moisturize dry skin.

Clear skin: 
A massage of turmeric mixed with milk cream on the skin helps reduce hair on the skin.

Skin Diseases: 
Consistent use of turmeric may help in fighting serious skin disorders like psoriasis, eczema, red rashes on the skin, and marks due to chickenpox and smallpox.

Aging: 
Last but not the least. Turmeric helps delay aging; the antioxidants in it play a key role in fighting aging.
