Turmeric has been used in South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb. It was only a matter of time before the beauty industry took note of this. Scientists have recently dubbed turmeric a “super nutraceutical” due to its incredible benefits.
Benefits of turmeric for your skin:
When applied topically, turmeric brings a glow to skin due to its strong antibacterial, antiseptic and sebum-balancing properties. Curcumin, the powerful antioxidant and the active molecule in turmeric, has the ability to inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase, which reduces dark spots and hyper-pigmentation.
