Hi hi! How are you? I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We’re on a little trip – check out IG stories for all of the details! – and I’m popping in to share one of my favorite beauty DIYs: Turmeric Face Scrub.

Turmeric is a vibrant yellow spice that comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant. It’s in the ginger family, and has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese herbalism for its functional properties.* One of the key compounds in turmeric is curcumin, which is known as a powerful free radical scavenger.* It also supports a balanced immune system, a balanced response to environmental stressors, and possesses neuroprotective attributes.*

Beyond its traditional culinary uses, turmeric can be incorporated into your daily routine in various ways. You can find turmeric supplements in the form of capsules or powders, which can be added to smoothies, juices, soups, or even sprinkled over roasted vegetables or eggs. Golden milk is made by combining turmeric with warm milk and spices like ginger and cinnamon, and it is a soothing and nourishing option. It’s one of my favorite ways to wind down for the day!

Turmeric can also be used topically as a facial scrub, which is what I’m sharing today! Because of its protective benefits against environmental stressors, turmeric may help with skin benefits as well.*

**It’s important to note that it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before adding any new supplement or product to your routine, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications.***
