Turmeric contains curcumin, which has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It eliminates the harmful free radicals that are damaging the skin. It also enhances collagen production and keeps your skin supple and glowing.

For super – charge glow, add a little Gram flour which gently cleanses the skin to make it clean and bright.
