BENEFITS OF USING TURMERIC AS FACE MUSK

BENEFITS OF USING TURMERIC ON YOUR SKIN

Turmeric has the potential to reduce swelling (inflammation) and irritation. Inflammation and irritation can aggravate other skin conditions, so using turmeric as a regular face mask can help.

REDUCED INFLAMATION

Curcuminoids, the active compounds in turmeric, are sometimes used to decrease inflammation in arthritis. These potential anti-inflammatory effects could possibly help your skin, too.

ANTIBACTERIAL POTENTIAL

Turmeric may also treat and prevent bacteria in the skin that can otherwise contribute to acne cysts and staph infections. (Any active infections should be looked at by a doctor first, though!)

ACNE TREATMENT

With its anti-inflammatory potential, turmeric may be helpful in treating inflammatory acne. This includes:

cysts
nodules
pustules
papules
The extract may also reduce the appearance of acne scars.

• There are no known side effects of turmeric used in skin care. Still, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test before using any new ingredient on your skin. Even plant-based products like turmeric can cause reactions in some users.

To do a patch test, you’ll want to make your turmeric mask ahead of time and then apply a small amount to your arm before using it on your face:

Wait at least a day, and if no reactions develop, it’s likely safe for you to apply the turmeric mask on your face.
Don’t use the mask if any redness, swelling, or itchiness develops on your patch test.
