Turmeric: A Superfood
Turmeric is a common superfood known for its golden orange hue. You can find it in powder form and add it to your cooking and spice mixes. This golden root is also found in its whole form, ready to be grated and utilized in a recipe. Both types of turmeric are largely nutritious and are well-known for its health benefits!
This delightful spice has over 300 vitamins, minerals, and chemical compounds that are beneficial to our health. Turmeric has been known to help a variety of ailments, including:
- Depression
- High cholesterol
- PMS
- IBS
- Arthritis
- Cancer
- Headaches
- Acne
- Viral infections
Using a Homemade Facial Scrub
Using a homemade facial scrub is slightly different to using a homemade body scrub. The skin of the face is very delicate. Skin is thinner on the face than the rest of the body, making it more susceptible to irritation.
When using your Homemade Turmeric Face Scrub, rub very gently in small, circular motions. Avoid getting close to the eye area. Rub the scrub into the face for 1-2 minutes, but not long enough to irritate the skin. Rinse with warm water to reveal gorgeous, glowing skin!
