Why Haldi (Turmeric) Is Important for Skincare
Turmeric (Haldi, Curcuma longa) is backed by scientific research as a valuable skincare ingredient because its active compound curcumin has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties that help soothe irritated skin, protect against oxidative stress, support faster skin repair and regeneration, reduce inflammation linked with conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis, and contribute to brighter, healthier-looking skin by enhancing collagen synthesis and reducing redness and signs of aging, making turmeric a versatile natural addition to topical and oral skincare approaches.
