Turmeric For Fading Acne Scars

When applied topically or taken internally, turmeric helps to treat acne pimples and cysts and clear acne scars. Turmeric benefits for acne are majorly attributed to curcumin, the most significant active ingredient in this spice.

One of the easiest way to use turmeric for acne scars and pimple removal  is to mix it with water or honey to create a paste. Simply add enough water or honey to ½ a teaspoon of turmeric to make a fine paste and then work it into the areas of the skin affected by pimples. Once the paste dries, wash it off with water and you are good to go. The paste will stop the existing pimple and leave your face glowing. Use this remedy regularly for best results.


Ginger and Turmeric Tea for Acne
