Turmeric is more than just a part of Asian curry powders
Turmeric is a powerful natural component with antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. But keep in mind that regular turmeric (the one used for cooking) can potentially stain the skin due to its strong color. If you want to apply turmeric to your skin you have to make use of Kasturi turmeric which is perfect for skin care. The best way to make use of it is to mix it with coconut oil and form a paste. Add some water to make sure the consistency is good. Many people use this mixture to make a face mask and apply it for about 10 to 15 minutes.
