Sweet Harvest Farms Turmeric Handmade Organic Soap
Did you know that people who use Turmeric soap can actually reduce skin inflammation and sometimes even repair the damage of the skin? The soap soothes pores and can create a calming effect. Turmeric soap has antioxidant and antiseptic properties.
It can help to heal wounds, prevent break outs, fight eczema and psoriasis, reduce acne scarring, brighten dark circles and brighten skin. Since it has anti-inflammatory properties, Turmeric soap may help to help reduce blemishes, and heal the skin.
Turmeric, a golden yellow spice, is currently one of the most popular ingredients in skincare. Dermatologists suggest that turmeric offers significant skin benefits, including calming skin rashes, lightening dark spots and hyperpigmentation, treating acne, and brightening skin tone.
Turmeric, related to ginger, is a root plant commonly used as a spice worldwide, particularly in South Asia. Its distinctive yellow color comes from curcumin, an active ingredient known for its potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antineoplastic, and antioxidant properties that combat free radicals, explains Dr. Patel.
Historically, turmeric has been used as an anti-inflammatory and health supplement, aiding in wound healing and pain relief. It is also prevalent in Ayurvedic skincare. “It is often applied to the skin of brides and grooms before their wedding to enhance their complexion and give their skin a glow,” notes Dr. Bhanot.
1. **Calms inflammation**: Turmeric provides "anti-inflammatory benefits and protection from environmental damage," says Dr. Sethi. Since inflammation is the root cause of many skin problems, reducing it can improve conditions like acne, rashes, and redness.
2. **Treats acne**: Turmeric and its active ingredient curcumin have been shown to improve acne lesions when ingested or applied topically, according to Wizemann. Dr. Patel recommends making a paste with turmeric, water, and lemon (vitamin C) to spot-treat pimples overnight.
3. **Soothes skin rashes**: Turmeric is used to heal scars, skin rashes, burns, and other skin conditions like dermatitis and psoriasis, says Dr. Sethi. “It aids in skin renewal, although it is not solely responsible for it.”
4. **Lightens dark spots**: While not an immediate solution, “topical turmeric helps with discoloration or hyperpigmentation if used consistently over time,” says Dr. Patel.
5. **Brightens skin**: One of turmeric’s most noted benefits is its ability to brighten the skin. “Turmeric reduces excess melanin production, which can brighten skin tone,” says Dr. Sethi.
Studies have also shown that turmeric can reduce dark spots on the skin, also known as hyperpigmentation. One study showed a 14% reduction in hyperpigmentation after 4 weeks.
