It is safe to say that curcumin, is a super healer. From old Ayurvedic manuscripts to new aged scientific journals, everywhere curcumin has been lauded for its magical properties which can help alleviate any kind of inflammation. Its effects on human skin are beyond compare especially since our skin, being exposed to all the harsh irritants in the atmosphere, is most susceptible to damage.

Curcumin is most effective in skin ailments because:

1) Curcumin has great anti-inflammatory properties that help in reducing inflammation caused by skin allergies, acne, sunburn etc. It thus restores the skin’s health and brings back its healthy glow.

2) Curcumin has antiseptic properties that form a shield against skin infections, keeping the skin healthy and glowing

3) Curcumin is known to inhibit the production of melanin (skin darkening pigment) as well as the enzyme responsible for producing melanin. This leads to lighter skin tone.

4) Curcumin is a potent anti-fungal and it helps in keeping fungal infections that can harm the skin away.

5) Curcumin has antioxidant properties that make it a wonderful, natural anti-aging remedy. By keeping the synthesis of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) to a minimum it reduces oxidative stress thereby slowing down the aging process for the skin and body.

Having read how advantageous Curcumin can be for your skin, we are sure you would now be interested in knowing how to use this magic ingredient so that you accrue maximum benefit. The easiest way to use curcumin to improve skin health is by topically applying it to the face in the form of a face pack.
