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.
The curcumin found in turmeric can help wounds heal by decreasing inflammation and oxidation. It also lowers the response of your body to cutaneous wounds. This results in your wounds healing more quickly. Studies have found that turmeric can positively affect tissue and collagen as well.
Inflammation is a big factor in many skin problems, from psoriasis, eczema and other skin rashes. Turmeric can aid the reduction of redness and swelling as one of its most well-known properties is its anti-inflammatory activity, as proved in a myriad of studies.
Turmeric also helps even out skin tone, and its extract may also help reduce the appearance of acne scars. Studies have shown turmeric to reduce dark spots on the skin – aka hyperpigmentation. In fact, one study showed that a turmeric-extract cream reduced hyper-pigmentation up to 14 percent after four weeks of use.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease in which inflammation causes skin cells to build upon each other, creating scaly patches that are prone to cracking and bleeding.
Curcumin, the primary active compound found in turmeric, contains anti-inflammatory enzymes that can combat cell production and reduce these uncomfortable skin patches.
One study showed that turmeric helped to decrease hyperpigmentation by up to 14 percent in as little as four weeks. What’s more, lemon juice is also hailed as a potent skin brightener because of its citric acid content, which has shown to fade dark spots over time.
Health benefits aside, turmeric is wonderful for your skin too! Using turmeric for dry skin can help you reduce flakiness and dryness, while increasing radiance and glow.
