Use Turmeric as Skincare

Boosts skin's elasticity: Turmeric helps to keep your skin looking young and firm. Turmeric’s anti-aging power is not limited to its antioxidant properties. No. Studies suggest that it could potentially interfere with the activity of elastase, which is an enzyme that is linked to the degradation of elastin. 
Elastin and collagen, are proteins that keep your skin firm and lifted rather than loose and sagging. Degradation of elastin cause lines and wrinkles of skin as well. Wow! That is truly astounding and gives turmeric a powerful edge as an anti-aging ingredient.
Usage Tip: Mix 1 tsp. of oat flour, 1/4th tsp. of turmeric powder, and enough mashed avocado to make a paste. Add 6 drops of vegetable glycerin. Massage your skin with this mix with upward strokes for about 10 minutes. Then wash with lukewarm water and use serum and lotion for your skin type. Don’t know your skin type? Read this page for help to figure it out.
It helps lighten pigmentation and dark spots of skin: If you have hyper-pigmentation and discoloration then using turmeric can help. Turmeric is said to lighten the appearance of pigmentation and even out your skin tone.

So I tried this DIY mask to see for myself:
Ingredients
1 tsp. of coconut milk    
1 tsp. of aloe vera gel 
15 drops of fresh lemon juice
1/4th tsp. of turmeric powder
(Be very cautious when using turmeric in DIY remedies because it can stain the skin which is why we use lemon juice in this mixture).
 Then I sat back to relax and let this miracle plant do its thing for about 10 minutes. 
Time to wash off!
The first thing I noticed is that my skin feels smoother and tighter. It seems to have boosted the elasticity and firmness of my skin. The next morning, I felt my pores were smaller and my skin looked more youthful and smooth. I will continue to do this mask a couple times a week as I’m sure with repeated use the results will become even more noticeable.

    Yes , absolutely!!

    Tumeric is always helpful for fighting aging skin as

    The main active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which is known to fight free radicals in the skin and slows skin ageing.

    Turmeric is known for its antibacterial and antiseptic action and this is how it keeps acne and pimples at bay. It helps heal wounds as well.

    For someone who has a particularly oily skin, turmeric may work wonders as it may lower secretions of the sebaceous glands in the skin.

    For my anti aging needs I would highly recommend the Venofye ViperLift Bio Cream, and it has worked wonders for me over the years. Highly recommended!!

The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution.
