- Enhances complexion: Regular use of a face pack made by mixing turmeric powder with yogurt or milk helps to cleanse the skin from deep within. This tends to remove skin blemishes and in turn, helps to make the facial skin appear brighter and fairer than before.
- Removes dark circle: Dark circles are a typical darkening of the skin under the eyes. Since Curcuma aromatica helps to lighten the tone of skin, applying it to dark circles can help to reduce the pigmentation in that area.
- Controls acne: Acne is generally the result of a blocking of the hair follicles in facial skin; the condition gets aggravated if there is contamination with bacteria that are normally present on the skin surface. Turmeric has valuable antibacterial action and this makes it a good remedy for dealing with acne.
- Get rid of facial hair: Regular use of a paste of turmeric powder on the face helps to keep the face free of hair growth.
