Turmeric, the ‘golden spice’ of the Orient, is not only the soul of food, but also a natural treasure in the world of skincare! In recent years, turmeric creams have become popular worldwide for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and skin-brightening properties. This blog takes you on a deep dive into the scientific power of turmeric creams, so you can say goodbye to dullness and sensitivity and get a natural glow!
Turmeric's Skincare Mystery: Why it deserves to be favoured?
Core Ingredient: Curcumin
Anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial: Inhibits pro-inflammatory factors (e.g. TNF-alpha, IL-6) to alleviate inflammatory problems such as acne and rosacea;
Anti-oxidant: Neutralises free radicals, slows down UV-induced degradation of collagen, and slows down the ageing process;
Skin Brightening: Blocks tyrosinase activity, reduces melanin production, and improves dullness and acne marks.
Scientific use of the four-step method: from techniques to frequency
Allergy test first: Behind the ear or the inner side of the wrist to apply a soybean-sized cream, observed for 24 hours without abnormalities before the face.
Proper application:
Step 1: Take a pea-sized amount of cream on your palm and emulsify it until it becomes translucent;
Step 2: Gently press the cream onto your face, avoiding tugging and pulling (from the middle of your face to the front of your ears, and from the forehead to the hairline);
Step 3: Apply a second dab of cream on the area of acne or discolouration to strengthen the repair process.
Recommended frequency of use: 1 time in the morning and 1 time in the evening.
Turmeric cream is not a ‘cure-all’, but when used scientifically, it can be your skin's guardian. Whether it's fighting acne, soothing sensitivity, or brightening dullness, it's a natural way to give your skin a healthy glow. Remember: patience and moderation are the ultimate in skincare!
