Amidst its pros, do not forget that turmeric does not suit every skin tone because of its strong properties, and if you’re using it in the wrong manner, then instantly avoid the application on your face.
1. Severe skin irritation
If you have sensitive or severe acne-prone skin then avoid the use of turmeric face packs. Turmeric is known for its notorious nature which can lead to excess itching, burning, and redness. This increases when you mix the product with other raw substances, and increases the higher tendencies of hypersensitivity. Thus, start with a patch test and then apply it all over your face.
2. Lookout for the yellow stain
If you have an urgent date night or a special occasion, never apply turmeric right before you sit for your makeup. Turmeric has curcumin which is a natural tonic that leaves a yellow tint or stain on the skin, which is hard to wash out immediately. Higher concentrations of turmeric and excess application can lead to a darker tint of yellow which can take days to wash out.
3. Can strip off the natural oil
If you’re constantly using turmeric masks, it can result in dehydration of the skin. Rich in antioxidants, it reduces inflammation and redness that strips off the natural skin’s oil and can further hamper your moisture levels. This can result in dryness and flakiness issues, which can increase the chances of breakouts.
4. People with complicated skin conditions should avoid
If you’re having conditions such as eczema or psoriasis, then turmeric would worsen it, as it will be very strong for your skin’s condition which can hamper the cure of the existing skin disorder and would create more issues on the skin.
