Turmeric is also known to reduce acne scarring and help your face clear up from acne breakouts. It contains a compound called curcumin, which has antimicrobial properties that can fight against bacteria that contribute to acne. Regular use of Turmeric can give you glowing skin, reduce acne spots, and prevent pimples as well.
Turmeric powder can be combined with water or milk to form a paste that is then applied to the face. Leave the mixture on for 10–20 minutes or until it has completely dried, then rinse off with warm water. Repeat daily until your hyperpigmentation has lightened, a process that will likely take several months.
If you do not know how your skin will react to turmeric, perform a patch test on a discreet area of skin first’ if there is no reaction after 24 hours, the turmeric is safe to use. In rare cases, topical use of turmeric can result in an allergic reaction characterized by swelling and redness.
