How & Why I’m Incorporating Turmeric
Into my Skincare Routine
// Before we dive into todays post, I just want to state that all thoughts and opinions within this post are my own. //
So what’s the deal with turmeric?
Well, there’s a lot so let’s jump right into it..
Turmeric helps fight the following:
– Oilness
Turmeric is great for those with oily skin because it has natural oil-controlling properties.
– Delays the appearance of aging
Thinking of ways to delay signs of aging? Such a habit would be wise, regardless of your age! Turmeric works at preventing the appearance of aging, as it contains antioxidants which help protect against environmental stressors.
– Fades the appearance of dark spots
Having issues with dark spots? Allow this ancient beauty helper to come to the rescue! Turmeric can fade the appearance of dark spots by lightening and brightening the skin. It surely is worth the try.
– Great for sensitive skin
Turmeric is great in the way that it contains many mineral and antioxidant rich properties that gently nourish the skin!
The sulfur rich products:
Now let’s talk about the sulfur rich products I’m currently using! These two products are a turmeric face scrub and mask from Yllo Beauty. If you’ve never used turmeric or Yllo Beautie’s face masks and scrubs before, allow me to share with you how to use them!
How to use the face mask & scrub:
Step One: Mix 1 tablespoon of mask with 1.5 teaspoons of water, rosewater, or diluted apple cider vinegar. Using a brush, apply a thick layer evenly over fresh face. (I didn’t have a good brush for this, so I just applied it with my fingers.)
Step Two: Stay yellow for 15 minutes or until mask is dry. Maybe take a cute picture for the gram. 😉
Step Three: Remoisten mask and rinse well.
Step Four: Use a gentle cleaner if any yellow remains. Repeat 2-3 times a week.
A brand with a cause..
These products come from an amazing brand I need to take a moment to gush about! To truly do their mission justice, I’m including information straight from their website below about how Yllo Beauty is on the honorable mission to end child marriage.
“In many South Asian cultures, the haldi ceremony is performed before weddings. Turmeric makes up the majority of this vibrant yellow paste, which is applied to the bride and groom’s bodies. Haldi is believed to ward off evil spirits, promise a life of prosperity, and make the couple have a beautiful glow on their wedding day. We think this tradition is beautiful and should be celebrated.
Unfortunately, there’s a horrible truth that isn’t often talked about. In South Asia, almost 50% of girls are married before their 18th birthday. We don’t want something as amazing as the haldi ceremony to be associated with child marriage. We’ve made it our mission to help empower girls and prevent future child brides. ”
” We’re donating 10% of our profits to Plan International Canada’s Hatibandha Project in 2018. “
