A very simple remedy which works for all skin types and not only protects skin from all kinds of outbreaks but also improves the skin tone and makes your skin flawless and radiant. This remedy can also be stored for some days in the fridge so you need not make it everyday.
Buy turmeric root from the market. Make sure they are long and thin and rich in color. If they are more brownish than yellow, they are old roots. Try to buy new or better if you can plant them in your garden. Turmeric is really good for health apart from its beauty uses. Take a cup of raw milk (better if it is cow or goat milk) and boil in a single root of turmeric in it for an hour or so till the root loses its color. Let the milk cool. Discard the root and refrigerate the milk. Dip a cotton in the milk and apply it on your face. Wash your face with this solution as much as possible or at least make a habit to use it once a day or once in a week. This would control the oil production in the body and also improve your skin tone making your skin flawless. Turmeric also helps in preventing skin breakouts. Thus, this solution is great for all skin types. You can also use this milk to mix your face packs and scrubs.

August 28, 2010 at 8:59 PMNice tip! How long can it be stored in fridge?

August 28, 2010 at 9:06 PMHi Humaira
Nice to see you back 🙂
Well, this will stay up to a week in the fridge because milk does stay in fridge but I would suggest to finish it asap because the efficacy decreases the longer the storage.
Btw, did your skin problem get resolved?

February 2, 2013 at 1:29 AMDoes pasteurized milk make it less effective Swati? I am assuming you can still get raw milk in India?
Do you know if the milk makes the turmeric more effective? Why the milk, do you know? (Personally, I hate warm milk! But if it is really effective, I’ll choke it down. Maybe the turmeric masks the taste?

February 11, 2013 at 6:15 AMyes, using pure milk from the cow sheds would be a better choice and cow milk has lesser calories than buffalo’s milk. you can drink it cold as well. milk doesn’t make turmeric more effective. both of them are necessary for glowing skin!

February 2, 2013 at 1:33 AMOops, I was confusing the remedy of drinking it with this facial treatment, which I’d never heard of…Ignore that last sentence!
Swati Murti says
February 11, 2013 at 6:16 AMthis solution can be intaken as well and the taste is quite like almond milk.

February 26, 2013 at 3:16 PMHi, This is very nice and even i have heard it a lot but would like to ask can we use powder turmeric rather than root.
Swati Murti says
February 28, 2013 at 3:10 PMthis particular solution can be made only using the turmeric root but otherwise on a regular basis you can put a pinch of powder in a glass of milk…you don’t need to boil it 🙂
