Ingredient focus: Turmeric CO2 Extract
Turmeric, which you may know through its use as a culinary spice with a vibrant golden colour, has long been celebrated for its potent medicinal properties. It has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and is also an ideal natural remedy for achieving radiant, healthy skin.
One of the most effective ways to harness turmeric’s skincare benefits is through Turmeric CO2 extract, a concentrated form that delivers a wealth of advantages for your skin. CO2 extraction is a low temperature, non-toxic and environmentally sustainable method that enhances the potency and bioavailability of the plant’s beneficial qualities compared to traditional methods.
Incorporating turmeric into your skincare can be a wonderful addition to your routine, offering the following valuable benefits:
1.
Reduced Inflammation:
Turmeric CO2 extract contains curcumin, a natural compound renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties. This can help to calm and soothe irritated and inflamed skin, helping reduce redness, acne or other irritating skin conditions.
2.
Antioxidant Powerhouse:
This extract is packed with antioxidants that combat free radicals thus preventing premature ageing. It helps protect the skin from environmental damage, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promoting a youthful complexion.
3.
Brighter, Glowing Skin:
Turmeric is known for its ability to brighten and even out skin tone. Regular use of turmeric CO2 extract can help fade hyperpigmentation, dark spots and blemishes, leaving your skin looking more radiant and glowing.
4.
Acne Management:
Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties make it an effective tool in managing acne. It can help reduce redness, control excess oil production and fight off acne-causing bacteria.
5.
Enhanced Healing:
Turmeric CO2 extract can promote the natural healing process of the skin. It accelerates the repair of damaged skin and can be particularly beneficial for addressing scars and other imperfections.
6.
Natural Exfoliation:
Turmeric contains natural enzymes that can gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores leading to a smoother, healthier complexion.
Common ways to incorporate turmeric extract into your skincare is through the use of serums, creams or masks. Of course, it’s always a good idea to perform a patch test before using any new product to test its suitability for your skin.
Remember that consistency is key when reaping the full benefits of any extract. You’ll likely notice an improvement in your skin’s overall health and appearance over time using turmeric, particularly when paired with other beneficial botanical ingredients. Combined with a well-balanced diet and proper hydration this golden elixir will support you in naturally achieving beautiful, radiant skin.
