Why You Should Add Turmeric to Your Skincare Routine

By now you must know that turmeric is a superfood with plenty of benefits. You can add it to your smoothie, salad or tea to help fight inflammation and to get a good source of fiber, vitamins and magnesium. But did you know turmeric can also improve your skin? 

Studies have shown that curcumin, a chemical compound found in turmeric, can decrease UV damage (it's a natural antioxidant) and clear up acne (it's also antibacterial) when applied to skin. While you can probably make some homemade remedies, beauty brands have made it easy for you to buy your favorite turmeric-infused products at your local beauty store. 

Brightening & Exfoliating Masks 
For under $50, you can find  2-in-1 turmeric brightening and exfoliating masks, which contain exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids to address hyperpigmentation, dullness, and uneven texture. 

Pore Toner
Some toners feature soothing turmeric, alongside a slew of other nourishing ingredients like aloe to balance skin while seriously turning up the glow factor in your complexion.

Spot Treatments 
Ever have a zit? Then you must know something about benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid -  two of the most effective acne-fighting ingredients out there, but they can easily cause dryness and irritation if used too aggressively. Brighten discoloration and target blemishes the gentle way with a turmeric spot treatment. 

Cleanser 
Get yourself a facial cleanser with turmeric extract. It’ll leave your skin clean and refreshed without drying it out.
