News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever we see a childhood picture or remember the remedies of our grandmothers, ‘Turmeric’ definitely comes up. Today is 31st December 2025, and on this farewell night we will be taking many resolutions. If you want to give new life to your skin in the new year, then instead of the chemical serums of the market, consider this ‘yellow medicine’ of your kitchen. Why is turmeric so special? Turmeric contains an element called ‘Curcumin’. If we understand it in simple language, it is a doctor who goes inside your skin and reduces inflammation and fights bacteria. If your face looks lifeless due to dust and sunlight, then there is nothing better than turmeric.1. Farewell to pimples and stubborn spots: If you frequently suffer from pimples (acne), then turmeric is a boon for you. It has anti-bacterial properties that keep the pores clean. Applying turmeric mixed with honey or sandalwood not only reduces acne, but also gradually fades away the old marks.2. ‘Golden Glow’ defeats age. In this winter season, the skin often becomes dull due to sitting in the sun (tanning). Turmeric acts as a natural bleach. Mix curd and a little turmeric and leave it on the face for 10 minutes and then wash it with lukewarm water. Seeing the glow that comes, people will ask which ‘facial’ you have done.3. Dark Circles and Wrinkles: If dark circles have formed under the eyes due to staying awake late at night, then mix turmeric in a little cream or milk and massage. Its antioxidants also prevent fine lines and give you a fresh look. Where is the biggest mistake? People often think that applying turmeric from the kitchen masala on the face will do the trick. This is where we get defeated.Kitchen Turmeric: It often contains food colors, which can make the face yellow.Wild Turmeric: Always use Kasturi Turmeric or organic turmeric for the skin. It does not make your skin yellow, it just enhances the glow. A small recipe to try: Make a paste of one spoon gram flour, half spoon curd and a pinch (remember, only a pinch) of turmeric. Apply it for 15 minutes and see the magic. This is an age-old method that trumps today’s expensive skin care treatments.
