Turmeric is said to be the most beneficial ingredient. Apart from being healthy for the body, it is also healthy for our skin and for our face. Here are a few magical ways in which you can use turmeric powder for beautiful and radiant skin:

1. Reduces scars and heals wounds:
The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric work on your pores and calm the skin. Turmeric is also known to reduce scarring and heal any kind of wounds faster due to its antiseptic qualities.

2. Delays signs of ageing:
Turmeric contains curcuminoid pigments which help the body in synthesizing antioxidants. These antioxidants protect the skin cells from free radical damage and can even slow down the signs of ageing like dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.

3. Treats dry and cracked skin:
Try turmeric for your crack heels and you won't be disappointed. Mix some coconut oil with turmeric powder and apply this paste on your cracked heels or dry skin and then wash off after 15 minutes. Your skin will feel relieved and soft.

4. Soothes burns:
Turmeric is known for its soothing properties. Mix a pinch of turmeric with some milk or cooling curd and apply it on the affected area. Let it dry and then wash off gently. Repeat this a few times in a day for at least one to two weeks till the burn mark starts fading away.

5. Cures stretch marks:
A mix of turmeric, saffron and lime juice can be used to get rid of stretch marks. Apply the paste to the area, let it sit for 15 minutes and then wash off. Repeat this every day until you see that the marks become light.
