Turmeric has been widely used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine for nearly 4,000 years. It is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps to calm irritated skin. It is also a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from oxidation, the primary case of exterior signs of aging. Studies are showing that Turmeric can help guard against photo-aging from UVA and UVB rays including protecting against photoaging from UVA and an increase in skin thickness and a reduction in skin elasticity often induced by chronic UVB exposure.
