Benefits of Turmeric Essential Oil For Skin are:
​
Heals and stops acne growth
It is almost an open secret now that Curcumin, an active component of turmeric, can heal and stop the growth of acne. It has strong antimicrobial activity that fights bacterial infection. Without any side effects like other acne medicine, turmeric essential oil is an ideal medicine due to its anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
​
Acts as anti-aging for skin
We are exposed to sun radiation, pollution and stress every day. This causes the release of free radicals like reactive oxygen species (ROS) in our skin, which causes damage and skin aging. Turmeric essential oil has anti-oxidant properties that quench free radical activity and improves skin health. Researchers are trying to find derivatives of curcumin which might be more effective. However, in natural products, this oil provides excellent results on regular topical use.
​
Lightens skin & slows growth of body hair
A study published in 2017 about Essential Oil of a plant from the Curcuma family, concluded that it slows body hair growth and lightens skin in axillae. Many of us struggle with dark spots and unwanted hair in our armpit region. Applying this essential oil in a diluted form regularly will reduce hair growth and even lighten the skin tone.
​
Treat sun burn
Solar radiation has several harmful reactions in human skin. Severe sunburn can cause peeling and blister. Even mild sunburn can lead to itching and irritation in the skin. Studies have shown that compounds present in turmeric have photo-protective activity. Massaging with turmeric essential oil in the diluted form before stepping out in sun may reduce sunburn. Further its antiseptic and healing properties soothe irritation caused by UV radiation.

Psoriasis and Blemishes Treatment

Supportive studies done over 8 weeks show that regular application of turmeric on psoriasis resulted either in resolution or reduction of psoriasis. Curcumin has excellent keratinocyte proliferation property, thus it is beneficial in treating psoriasis. It is also very effective against blemishes and other skin problems.
