Benefits Of Using Turmeric For Your Skin

Turmeric owes its anti-inflammatory and pigment-inhibiting properties to its active compounds, collectively referred to as curcuminoids. Among these, curcumin stands out as the most important, providing potent anti-inflammatory effects and effectively inhibiting tyrosinase — the enzyme responsible for activating pigment production. With its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-everything properties, turmeric skin care is the way to go if you want to achieve head-to-toe radiance.

Here are some turmeric fast facts around its benefits for the skin.

1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Curcumin, which is found in turmeric, significantly lowers levels of inflammatory markers in the body. “Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial — these properties help tighten pores and improve skin tone and pH balance,” says Dr. Taz Bhatia MD, Integrative Health Expert, and Founder and Medical Director, CentrespringMD. 

2. Helps To Treat Acne

This spice’s powerful anti-inflammatory properties can improve scarring and dark spots left behind by acne, while decreasing redness and soothing irritated skin. As Dr. Bhatia explains, “In Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric was also mixed with yogurt to lessen acne.”

Additionally, turmeric’s antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may help prevent clogged pores, breakouts or reduce existing ones.

3. Brightens Undereyes

If you’re concerned with dark eye circles, turmeric’s properties help to brighten dark undereye circles and bring out your natural glow. Turmeric also works well to reduce any puffiness in your eye area.

4. Reduces Signs Of Aging

This golden root helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles, keeps skin supple and improves skin’s elasticity. You might be thinking that turmeric seems like a magical ingredient! We certainly think so. So, how exactly should you be using turmeric in your skin care routine? Turmeric face masks are extremely popular, but there is a difference between a DIY turmeric face mask and a professional treatment. 

Turmeric Face Mask FAQs

Is Turmeric Good For A Face Mask?

Yes, turmeric is a good ingredient in a face mask as it exfoliates and awakens the skin so that it looks reinvigorated and clear. 

Will A Turmeric Face Mask Stain My Skin?

While turmeric on its own may leave a yellow stain on the skin, this is not an issue when it is professionally formulated into skin care products. We recommend avoiding DIY turmeric face masks and instead recommend using our own expertly formulated skin care products.

What Does Turmeric Do For Your Face?

Turmeric supports skin health to reduce breakouts and contains anti-inflammatory properties to improve skin tone. It also improves acne scarring and brightens dark undereye circles.

Does A Turmeric Mask Reduce The Signs Of Aging?

Turmeric can minimize the signs of aging by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, keeping the skin supple and improving the skin’s elasticity.

Does Turmeric Make Your Skin Clear?

Yes, turmeric can make the skin appear clearer and smooth due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It calms the look of inflamed skin and is known to minimize scarring. 

Turmeric Energizing Treatment Vs DIY Turmeric Face Mask

We know what you’re thinking — can’t I just create a DIY turmeric face mask at home? Mix some turmeric and apple cider vinegar together? The idea of mixing a mask up in the kitchen is very appealing and is frequently touted as a great solution on social media. However, a professional skin care product will provide you with safety and real results that you can’t achieve with a DIY mask. It comes down to the formula, concentration level and ingredients that you’ll find in professional skin care companies’ products. Additionally, when you mix up a DIY concoction at home, you can’t be sure that the ingredient proportions are ideal for the skin. Formulas made by beauty chemists eliminate this issue.

Are you ready to enliven your complexion with Turmeric Energizing Treatment? All you have to do is dispense one small scoop of powder (about 1 teaspoon) into the outer cap. Gradually stir in a few drops of water until the texture looks like mousse. The recommended ratio is 4 parts powder to 3 parts water. Next, apply a thin layer to the entire face, extending to the neck and décolleté.

You can let it dry for 10 – 30 minutes. Rinse with tepid water, massaging gently to exfoliate. Don’t be alarmed, as a hot tingling sensation can last for a few minutes and is an intended effect of this product. For a milder effect, dilute with more water.
