How to use Turmeric powder for skin lightening and glowing.

Turmeric is a bright yellow-orange spice gotten from the rhizome of a plant of the ginger family (zingibraceae). It's botanical name is curcuma longa. Turmeric has a slight pungent taste like ginger, only when used freshly in a large quantity but milder than ginger. Another variety of turmeric is the white turmeric botanically called curcuma aromatica. It tastes like mango, it is not as sharp as the yellow-orange one but has a slightly bitter taste. Curry got its distinct yellow colour from turmeric. Turmeric can sometimes be used as a substitute for saffron.
Curcumin, a phytonutrient found in turmeric has been proven to be a powerful anti-oxidant that can support the heart and joint health. Turmeric is the leading ingredient in organic skin care. Hardly is there an African herbal soap ingredient with no turmeric powder.
Turmeric widely grows in India and Northern and South-West Nigeria. Turmeric has a very few side effects and are safe to use. Generally, tutmeric is very safe on skin, when used in moderation.
Golden benefits of turmeric for your skin and health:
1. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory, thanks to the powerful curcumin found in it which fights inflammation both internally and externally. Turmeric reduces acne scars and cures pimples, psoriasis etc.
Mix 1tsp turmeric with 1/2 tsp cinnamon in pure rose water to form a paste. Mask it on your face for 20 minutes or until dry. Rinse out with water. Repeat until your face is clear.
2. Turmeric can help to repair a bleached and damaged skin. First, stop using all your bleaching products and indulge in natural plant essence that will repair your skin. You need:
1 wrap African black soap
2tbsp turmeric powder
15ml turmeric oil
15g shea buttter
100ml lime juice
Mix everything together. Apply on your skin for 10minutes before washing it off. It gradually repairs and brightens your skin naturally. Turmeric on skin can reduce the risk of skin cancer.
3. Turmeric applied directly on skin or used in cosmetics can revive your skin glow naturally.
4. Wound healing: Turmeric can speed up healing of wounds when applied directly on the would and drinking turmeric also speeds up wound healing.
5. Oil control: Turmeric is a great oil control for those that have oily skin. The sebaceous glands secrete oil to moisturise the skin and prevent it from drying out. But unfortunately, oversecretion of oil by the sebaceous glands tend to create more problems. Some people even think that facial oil is reduced when you do not apply anything on your face. If your face is left too dry, you are only sending signal to your sebaceous gland to give more oil. Try this simple face mask and have a beautiful skin.
Mix 1tsp turmeric with coconut water ( the water found inside coconut, not the juice) to form a thick paste. Apply on your face till it dries. Rinse with lukewarm (not hot) water. This recipe gives you a tripple benefit; an instant oil reduction, a glowing and brighter look.
6. Sunburn treatment: Too long sun exposure to the skin can cause great lasting damages like discolouration, spider veins, wrinkles and fine lines (signs of aging). Using turmeric twice daily on the affected area will gradually repair damages caused by ultra violet rays.
Add 1tbs turmeric to 1tsp coconut oil and a little rose water to form a paste. Apply on your face twice daily.
7. Turmeric reduces dark circles. Apply a paste of turmeric and cucumber juice directly around your dark eyes. Leave on till dry and gently rinse off with lukewarm water. Repeat twice a day.
Drink a glass of turmeric juice as a health drink before breakfast. Spice your food with turmeric. Beauty comes from within.
Healthy you! Healthy skin.
