RECIPE FOR DIY TURMERIC FACE WASH
BENEFITS OF INGREDIENTS USED IN DIY TURMERIC FACE WASH:
Liquid Castile Soap
Liquid castile soap is an all natural soap. It does not strip off the natural sebum and does not make your skin drier or stretchy. Castile soap contains natural vegetable oils that moisturize and removes any make up and dirt. Is super gentle on the skin and keeps skin soft and clean.
Turmeric Powder
Turmeric powder contains ‘curcumin’ which is a well-known healing and brightening ingredient. It is quite known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti- pigmentation and brightening benefits. Turmeric helps even out skin tone, lighten dark spots and dark circles etc. Helps fight mild skin infections and breakouts and keeps your skin clean and clear.
Turmeric Essential Oil
Turmeric essential oil works just as turmeric powder, just that it is more concentrated and potent. Has healing, anti- inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and it helps even out skin tone. Reduces sun tan to some extent when used religiously. Because this is oil-based, it also helps moisturize and soften skin.
