Turmeric is one of the best anti-aging agents. It is a spice that contains a high level of antioxidants. Early appearance of aging signs such as wrinkles and fine lines on the skin is mostly due to the oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Antioxidants in turmeric can help keep the integrity of your skin by protecting it against the harmful effects of these free radicals. Turmeric has also been found to increase the elasticity of the skin by stimulating the growth of new cells.

 

Our skin is kept moist and supple by the natural oils secreted by the sebaceous glands. However, excess secretion of natural oils on the skin can lead to clogged pores, bacterial infection and the development of acne.

​

Turmeric is a great remedy that helps control the oiliness of the skin. According to a research that studied turmeric’s effect on the production of oil on the skin, applying turmeric twice a day for two weeks helped in significantly reducing the amount of oils on the skin. Researchers suggest that this effect is likely due to the presence of fatty acids and phytosterols in turmeric that have the potential to reduce the excess quantities of skin oils.

Shea butter is full of vitamins that are great for your skin, including vitamins A, E, and F.
