12 Ways to Add Turmeric to Your Beauty Routine

Turmeric is not just a pretty spice that makes food taste better. It’s packed with beauty benefits, so we’ve tried to include it in our routine as much as possible. The high antioxidants levels slow down cell damage, and turmeric is also anti-inflammatory.
