Smooth and radiant skin is a common goal, but not everyone knows how to achieve it. One hidden gem that can help with accomplishing this goal is a turmeric body scrub. Whether you are a skincare enthusiast or not, this simple product is easy to use and highly effective. Learn more about its benefits and how to get the most from the scrub.

Turmeric Benefits

Turmeric is an old spice that has natural antioxidant properties. For your skin, this can equate to a number of benefits. One of the most recognizable benefits is glowing skin. Whether it is a dark spot from old acne or a dark spot left behind from a scar, turmeric can lighten these areas to make them less noticeable. 

However, given its natural antioxidant qualities, it can also help reduce future dark spots, such as from sun exposure. Turmeric also has natural anti-inflammation properties, which can help minimize inflammation and redness.

Pre-Application

To get the most out of the scrub, it is important that you prepare your treatment. First, wait until your skin is settled. If you are dealing with a breakout or a flare-up from a skin condition, such as eczema, wait until your skin clears up. Second, give yourself a few days between shaving and applying the body scrub. 

Applying the scrub to freshly shaven skin can increase irritation, which may be painful and increase your risk of forming after-shave bumps. You should also make sure you have your favorite moisturizer nearby, as you will want to apply it right after the scrub for the maximum benefit.

Application 

In terms of the application, an excellent thing about turmeric is that you do not need to use any tools to apply the scrub. You can simply use your hands to apply the scrub in a circular motion. You should also allow warm water to roll over the area where you plan to use the scrub before the application. 

Turmeric is especially moisturizing, but warm water softens the skin, which allows the moisturizing properties of the scrub to penetrate deeper. Since turmeric is a natural product, you do have the option of using it more frequently than you do a more abrasive product. A turmeric scrub can be applied several times a week for intense moisturizing and skin brightening qualities. 

With regular use, you can experience all the above benefits. Be sure you commit to a regular regimen for the best outcome.
