Turmeric is a plant which is native to Asia and, in addition to being used as a spice to add colour and flavour to many dishes, it is also used for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that offer us numerous health benefits.
In this article, we tell you about the properties of turmeric that will help you to have radiant skin and a healthy tan.
A HEALTHY TAN
Turmeric can help to improve blood circulation in the skin, so that nutrients and oxygen reach the skin cells more efficiently, which can help to boost the tanning process.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANTIOXIDANT POWER
Turmeric acts as an anti-inflammatory; it can help to soothe irritation, reduce redness alleviate infections like acne, rosacea and dermatitis. Its anti-inflammatory action can also help to speed up the healing process of wounds and sunburn.
Curcumin, the main active ingredient in turmeric, is a powerful antioxidant which helps to neutralise free radicals and protect the skin from damage caused by UV rays. This helps to prevent the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and dark spots, keeping the skin looking young and healthy, and achieving a longer lasting tan.
REDUCES AGE SPOTS
Turmeric can help to clear the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation, by supressing the excessive production of melanin, the pigment responsible for age spots caused by the sun. This can help to achieve a more even and brighter skin tone and stop age spots from becoming larger on people that already have them.
