Turmeric Milk
A glass of turmeric milk was traditionally given to brides-to-be to brighten their complexion. 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-moisturizer. For a long, the key to a 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 yogurt works as the ultimate skin brightener and fixes dull complexion and stubborn tanning.
If you want to have glowing skin every day, drinking turmeric milk in your daily routine can be beneficial for your skin. Treatment of acne, pimples, eczema, psoriasis, Lichen planus, etc., are some of the Turmeric milk benefits for the skin. But, on the other hand, milk provides your body with essential nutrition, hydrating and nourishing it in the process. You can also attain a natural glow by applying turmeric milk to the skin, along with drinking it.
