What are the benefits?
Turmeric has the potential to reduce swelling (inflammation) and irritation. Inflammation and irritation can aggravate other skin conditions, so using turmeric as a regular face mask can help.

Reduced inflammation
Curcuminoids, the active compounds in turmeric, are sometimes used to decrease inflammation in arthritis. These potential anti-inflammatory effects could possibly help your skin, too.

Turmeric may possibly be of benefit with inflammation related to skin diseases, such as psoriasis. However, more research is needed.

Antibacterial potential
Turmeric may also treat and prevent bacteria in the skin that can otherwise contribute to acne cysts and staph infections.
Acne treatment
With its anti-inflammatory potential, turmeric may be helpful in treating inflammatory acne. This includes:
cysts
nodules
pustules
papules
The extract may also reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Antioxidant power
Turmeric is rich in antioxidants. When it comes to skin care, antioxidants can help keep free radicals from destroying healthy cells. This may prevent the onset of skin discoloration, scars, and other long-term skin concerns.

There’s even the possibility that turmeric, along with other healthy lifestyle habits, may reduce the chances of skin cancer, but more studies are needed.

Reduces skin color patches
 It has been one focus of topical turmeric studies. If you have color  patches on your  skin that are darker than the normal surrounding tissue, this is hyper pigmentation and turmeric helps in blending skin colours well.

One such study found that a turmeric-based cream reduced hyperpigmentation by more than 14 percent over the course of four weeks.

Skin irritation
When applied topically, turmeric may reduce skin irritation. Some studies have supported curcuminoids as potential irritation-alleviators for breast cancer treatments.

Wrinkle treatment
Studies have suggested turmeric as a possible treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. It may work to improve overall appearance in skin texture, which, in turn, may make wrinkles less noticeable.
Turmeric is generally considered safe when used orally or topically.

For few eating it raw may cause  potential gastrointestinal side effects, such as upset stomach and cramps.

There are no known side effects of turmeric used in skin care. Still, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test before using any new ingredient on your skin. Even plant-based products like turmeric can cause reactions in some users.

To do a patch test, you’ll want to make your turmeric mask ahead of time and then apply a small amount to your arm before using it on your face:

Wait at least a day, and if no reactions develop, it’s likely safe for you to apply the turmeric mask on your face.
