Turmeric is a super spice for skincare. Try these two at-home treatments to improve your skin’s appearance, fend off wrinkles and add moisture for a soft, supple complexion.
1:Turmeric Skin Polisher:-
This is traditionally used by women in India as a natural cleanser and is used in place of soap, which can strip the skin of much needed moisture. The gram flour not only sloughs off dead skin, it prevents turmeric from staining the skin.
Gram (or chickpea) flour also relieves oiliness. Milk is used to firm the skin and retard the formation of wrinkles.
Ingredients:
* 1 tablespoon gram flour
* ¼ teaspoon of turmeric
* 2 teaspoons of milk
Directions:
Mix ingredients together and rub onto wet skin. Leave on for 10 minutes. Gently wipe off mask with fingertips, and then rinse the face with lukewarm water.
2:Honey & Turmeric Moisturizing Mask:-
Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and has been used to treat wounds and skin problems. It is also a natural skin hydrator. Be sure to use raw, unprocessed honey. (You can also add raw milk to the mix to help rid of the skin of dead cells and rejuvenate the complexion.)
Ingredients:
* 1 tablespoon organic honey
* 1 teaspoon turmeric
Directions:
Mix honey and turmeric into a paste and apply to face. Leave on for 15 -20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.
If you don’t have the time to make your own mask, try Juara Skincare’s Turmeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask.
Turmeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask
A skin boosting wet clay mask from Juara Skincare, that brightens the complexion and evens out skin tone, giving skin a healthy glow.
Ingredients
Turmeric.
Turmeric is traditionally used in Indonesian royal beauty rituals. The turmeric complex is non-staining and acts as an exfoliant and provides antioxidant protection from free radicals that can damage skin and toxins that accelerate the aging process.
Kaolin Clay.
Kaolin clay gently draws out impurities and toxins, without drying out the skin, and makes pores less visible, for a smooth complexion.
Pros
It's free of parabens, fragrance, and artificial colorants and has a smooth, creamy texture that is easy to apply. It doesn’t completely harden, so it is not uncomfortable on the skin. Consumers have found that it leaves a cool, soothing and clean sensation, and skin feels soft and moisturized. It's also great for dry skin.
Cons
There don’t seem to be many. There is a slight tingling sensation in the beginning, but that’s the mask at work. Some say the scent reminds them of an art class (probably the clay) but it's not unpleasant. The mask is formulated for all skin types, but may not be the right mask for severe acne-sufferers.
Directions
* Use 2-3 times a week.
* Apply over clean face, being careful to not get too close to the eye and mouth area.
* Leave on for 10-15 minutes.
* Wipe off excess with a damp tissue and then rinse thoroughly.
* It can also be applied after your nightly cleansing regimen and left on overnight.
