5 ways Turmeric can benefit your skin and body

---If you frequent the kitchen, you’re probably all too familiar with the Southwest Indian native spice, Turmeric. Considered a member of the ginger family, Turmeric is the key ingredient used to give curry its signature taste and orange-yellow tint.
 
What most people don’t know, however, is that turmeric is a spice that is valued in and outside of the kitchen in many areas of the world. At OilBlends, we’re advocates for the use of turmeric on the skin and body. Whether you have acne-prone skin or dark circles under your eyes, there’s a turmeric solution for you. Don’t believe us? Here are 5 ways turmeric will benefit your skin and body. 
​
​Fight off acne and lighten acne scars
​Tumeric has been known to fight off acne. In fact, Rachel Nazarian, MD, swears by it. As a natural antiseptic, the plant keeps bacteria from spreading. Correspondingly, its anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness and swelling. For the icing on the cake, if you suffer from hyperpigmentation, turmeric also has the ability to help lighten dark marks.
 
“To treat a blemish, I mix a teaspoon of turmeric with a dab each of hydrocortisone and Neosporin and put the mixture in the fridge for about an hour,” Nazarian said to Oprah Magazine. “After it's cold, I apply a small amount to a pimple with a dab of Vaseline on top to enhance penetration.”
​Bye-bye, dark circles
Getting rid of bags can seem impossible, but with turmeric, the impossible seems a bit more achievable. According to Courtney Chiusano, founder of Courtney Chiusano Skincare in Los Angeles, California, turmeric stimulates circulation, helping to reduce puffiness and under-eye darkness.
​Penetrates stretch marks
​Believe it or not, but the antioxidant power contained in turmeric has the power to penetrate those pesky stretch marks! According to Turmeric for Health, when a turmeric solution penetrates the skin, the plant targets skin membrane cells, which in turn, helps treat stretch marks.
