Perfectly Posh Ingredients 101 - Tumeric

I'm not talking about eating Indian food. This is about topical uses of turmeric! In doing my research, I was interested to discover that one of the most important ceremonies of Indian weddings is the 'haldi' ceremony where a paste made of turmeric is applied to the bride and the groom’s body as part of their marriage preparations.

Tumeric has antiseptic and antibacterial properties, which is helpful in fighting acne breakouts, reduce oil secretion, and provide a youthful glow to skin.

Tumeric is also a great exfoliator when paired with honey. The tumeric will slough off dead skin cells while the honey adds a protective layer to the skin to help absorb moisture from the environment.

Tumeric is found in the Stay Gold face mask. Which, I might add, is fabulous!
