Here are the top 3 skin benefits of turmeric that you must know.

1. Cures Acne
Turmeric antibacterial nature inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria. A 2013 study published in the journal Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin reports that curcumin in turmeric exhibits antimicrobial activity that inhibits P. acnes bacteria that cause acne.
Plus, it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial for reducing acne symptoms.
Turmeric also has natural oil-controlling properties, which help reduce acne breakouts.
Mix equal amounts of turmeric and honey, then apply it directly on the acne-affected area. Leave it on overnight. The next morning, rinse it off with cool water. Do it once daily.
Alternatively, mix ½ a teaspoon of turmeric with 2 teaspoons of sandalwood powder and some milk to form a paste. Apply it all over your face and leave it to dry. Wash it off with lukewarm water. Do this 2 or 3 times a week.

2. Controls Oily Skin
Having oily skin can be a nightmare. Excess oil on the outer skin layer often leads to whiteheads, blackheads, blind pimples and other skin irritations. To solve the problem of oily skin, turmeric is very beneficial.
Turmeric has natural oil-controlling properties that can help control the excess oil (sebum) secretion. The fatty acids and phytosterols in turmeric help reduce excess skin oils.
A 2013 study published in the Tropical Journal of Pharmaceutical Research found that the extract obtained from the rhizomes of the turmeric plant can be used in skin preparations to regulate excessive sebum secretion in people suffering from acne and related problems.
Mix ½ a teaspoon of turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon each of yogurt and fresh lemon juice to form a paste. Apply an even layer of the paste on your face. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water. Use this mask twice a week.

3. Uneven skin tone
Sufferers of uneven skin tone can find solace in turmeric. With its skin lightening abilities, turmeric evens out dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin looking flawless.
Natural body soaps made with turmeric will give the desired effect.
