Turmeric is an amazing beauty and health ingredient and it is quite known for its healing and antimicrobial properties. Turmeric contains a very potent compound called as ‘curcumin’ that makes this ingredient super effective. It has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and brightening properties which is important to keep your skin and health in top condition. I love using turmeric in a number of beauty recipes and one such amazing recipe is turmeric skin clearing gel. Not only does it helps fight acne, but it also helps fight pigmentation.

Directions-

To make this turmeric skin gel, you need to add commercial aloe vera gel in a mixing jar. Fresh aloe vera gel is not going to work in this recipe because it will not emulsify with other ingredients and it will not have longer shelf life. You need emulsifiers in order to preserve the final product and also to mix all the Ingredients together. Now, to this aloe vera gel add wild turmeric, jojoba oil and peppermint oil. Mix everything together until it is well emulsified and then transfer it to an easy to use jar. Use it as a skin gel during the day and before sleeping as well. To use, take a small quantity on your palms and massage it on your facial skin and neck until fully absorbed.

  • Always patch test before using any new remedy or product to make sure you do not react to it. This is done to check whether you are allergic to a particular ingredient or not.
