RECIPE FOR TURMERIC GLOW SERUM:
Benefits of ingredients used in turmeric glow serum-
Wild Turmeric Powder
Wild turmeric powder is specifically used for cosmetic purposes and it is always better to use this rather than using your turmeric powder that we use in the kitchen. This variety of turmeric powder does not stain the skin. It has some amazing antimicrobial and anti-pigmentation properties. Not only that, but it also heals the skin from within and keeps it healthy and glowing. It contains curcumin that adds a beautiful glow to the skin and makes this a wonderful ingredient for skin care.
Turmeric Carrier Oil
Turmeric carrier oil contains all the benefits of turmeric but in more concentrated form and also contains essential fatty acids that moisturise the skin. It helps soothe inflammation and acne on the skin and also dry out pimples and prevent future breakouts. Thanks to its anti-septic and soothing properties, turmeric carrier oil supports skin repair by boosting collagen production and also improves overall skin texture.
Aloe Gel
Aloe vera gel works as a skin healing ingredient. It has natural astringent properties, break out preventing properties and also helps neutralise free radicals. It contains compounds that protects the skin from damage and makes it super soft. Not only does it have amazing skin care benefits but it also works as a great base in this recipe. Also, if you have eczema and psoriasis, this ingredient works wonders.
