The benefits of turmeric for skin A glass of turmeric milk was traditionally given to brides-to-be to brighten their complexion. Apparently, it's more than just an old wives tale. Curcumin has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which do help in combatting acne and clarifying the complexion. In fact, cow's milk and turmeric are famed to be a DIY cleanser-moisturiser. For long, the key to radiant and glowing complexion in India lay in a mixture of malai or fresh cream with a dash of haldi, which is applied as an instant glow mask. This actually works, especially for normal to dry complexions, if you can tolerate the smell of malai. For oily skin types, turmeric with yoghurt works as the ultimate skin brightener, and fixes dull complexion and stubborn tanning.
