Oatmeal Turmeric Soap

Turmeric Closely related to the other members of the ginger family, turmeric is a perennial herb native to India and has the scientific name of Curcuma longa. Turmeric helps keep your skin healthy in many ways. It’s widely used as a skin exfoliant and improves skin’s texture. It keeps pimples at bay by inhibiting the growth of pimple-causing bacteria and reducing the oil secretion by the sebaceous glands. The constant use of turmeric clears acne scars, which makes your skin flawless and glowing. Its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties accelerate the healing of a cut and soothe skin irritation. Turmeric’s major component curcumin, loaded with antioxidants, fights signs of aging like wrinkles and pigmentation by curbing the growth of free radicals. Oatmeal contains zinc that reduces inflammation and kills the acne-causing bacteria. Zinc supplementation might also help reduce acne lesions. Oatmeal, according to a study, exhibits direct antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties – and this can help treat itching associated with dry and irritated skin. Oats contain compounds called saponins that act as natural cleansers and remove the dirt and oil from the pores. And by the way, they don’t cause irritation. The proteins in oatmeal maintain the skin’s natural barrier. They even protect your skin from harsh pollutants and chemicals. The lubricating fats in oats aid in UV protection. Oatmeal is a gentle exfoliating treatment for any skin type. It assists to reduce dryness through restoring the natural balance of moisture to dry and flaky skin, but also absorbs excess oils in oily skins. It gets rid of impurities and surface dirt while providing gentle exfoliation to remove dead cells revealing a smoother and softer looking skin.
