Turmeric for your skin
Posted on: 09/Jul/2013 11:12:19 AM
Turmeric, known as haldi in Hindi and manjal in Tamil, is a natural antiseptic and has many therapeutic effects. Here are some ways this wonder herb helps your skin.
To even out your skin tone, mix some turmeric powder with cucumber juice and apply onto your skin. Let it stay on for 15 mins and wash off thoroughly. You may also use lemon juice instead of cucumber juice. Remember, results will be seen only if used consistently.
Turmeric works as a body scrub as well. Mix turmeric powder with besan (chickpea powder/ kadalai maavu), rose water and milk or curds. Apply onto your body and let it dry completely. You will feel your skin tighten as it dries. Wash off thoroughly.
Apply turmeric with some milk cream (malai or paal aadai) to your face. Using this often will improve skin elasticity.
