Turmeric may seem like just a trendy health food, but it is truly amazing for your skin as it helps nourish the skin and supports healthy aging. Read this blog to find out just how to get a glowing complexion from the outside in.
Turmeric is rich in curcumin, a powerful compound known for its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This helps to calm irritated skin, diminish inflammation, and enhance your natural glow, making it a fantastic choice for skincare! It is excellent for all skin types but especially beneficial for rosacea, and autoimmune compromised skin.
Placing turmeric with other specific powerful ingredients react in a superior positive way. At Face It Skin we partner turmeric with white kaolin clay as it creates a fine and gentle, exfoliation without causing irritation, even for sensitive skin. This leads to better absorption, providing essential nutrients for skin health and a natural rosy glow. Carrot seed oil acts as a great toner and moisturizer, balancing all skin types. It refreshes the skin and helps reduce signs of aging. Together with turmeric, it protects the skin from environmental stress. Other beneficial ingredients like chamomile, ginger extracts, MSM, vitamin C, tangerine, orange, grapefruit and aloe are also included in our mask to support your skin and all are found in our Luxe Turmeric Clay Mask.
Luxe Turmeric Clay Mask also has advanced ingredients like; glycolic acid for cell turnover, and hexapeptides (Argireline) to temporarily limit the overproduction and release of neurotransmitters that initiate and control the intensity of facial muscle contractions. This reduction in intensity reduces and prevents the formation of dynamic wrinkles that make your skin look aged. This product should be used weekly or a few times a month. Use it continuously in between Botox injections if desired.
Turmeric isn't anything new in fact it's ancient! Used for centuries to decrease inflammation inside your body created by oxidation.
Oxidation is often referred to as a type of internal rust. It happens when molecules lack an electron in their outer shell. This leads to one molecule taking an electron from another, causing what is known as 'oxidative stress' or 'oxidative damage.' This can result in ongoing low-level inflammation, which has been linked to various diseases. The powerful antioxidant properties of turmeric have caught the attention of mainstream medicine, and numerous studies are now highlighting its effectiveness. The oxidized apple in this pic represents what your skin and internal cells look like when oxidized. Skin looking lackluster or are you feeling puffy and uncomfortable? To remedy this do an at-home facial using Face It Skin Luxe Turmeric Clay Mask and add Turmeric to your diet!

Now, you should be thinking, of ways to add Turmeric into your daily diet besides your skincare routine! The great news is that turmeric can be incorporated into a variety of dishes and beverages at any time! Here’s some simples ways to add Turmeric into your diet:
1) Add it to any smoothie! It enhances the taste of a dark chocolate smoothie or kiwi pineapple and banana smoothie.
2) Add it to any marinade. It's a beautiful spice that can be added to chicken, fish or lamb marinades tastefully.
3) Add it to rice dishes. It's delicious with salt and rice pilaf. Try making your own turmeric salt and keep it on hand.
4) Add it to humus. Need I say more?
5) Make golden milk and add it to your coffee or tea. Golden milk, a time-honored Indian beverage, is a comforting blend of milk, turmeric, and a medley of other warming spices.
Here's how to make it:
Heat 2 cups of milk slowly until it starts to boil (I use lactose-free 2%). In a saucepan, mix in 1 teaspoon each of turmeric, vanilla extract, powdered ashwagandha, reishi powder, and cinnamon. Take it off the heat and add honey to your liking if you want. You can pour 1/2 cup into your coffee for a homemade latte, turn it into hot cocoa by adding dark chocolate, or enjoy it on its own! I happen to be drinking my coffee with golden milk in it right now.
Turmeric is a powerful spice both inside an out. Rich in phytonutrients that protect the body by neutralizing free radicals (pollution, sunlight) and shielding the cells from damage. During turmeric's 4,000-year-long march through the history of holistic healing, it has settled upset stomachs, healed colds and disinfected wounds. It has also battled acne, turned around sun-damaged complexions, blessed brides with radiance and basically done so much good that it's become known as one of the hardest-working spices in the world. Besides cooking with turmeric and having it in your Face It Skin mask reaping the benefits of turmeric also come in pill form to make it easier. For me, I'll just sip my drinks, cook with turmeric and do some masking while working to get you the latest skin wellness information when I can!
