This ancient Indian spice is the real reason celebs have glass skin and you can find it in your kitchen

Part of turmeric’s global comeback is thanks to the wellness boom and the fact that people are craving authentic, multi-benefit beauty rituals instead of single-use products. It’s not just a face mask, you will now find turmeric lattes (haldi doodh), turmeric serums, and even turmeric-infused sheet masks lining beauty store shelves in New York, Los Angeles, and London.

Skincare brands are now marketing turmeric-infused products as a way to achieve that “glass skin” glow without ten steps. But here’s the thing, you don’t need to buy a £50 or $60 serum when the real deal is sitting in your spice rack for less than a coffee.

Pro tips to make turmeric your beauty BFF

Mix it smart: If you have oily skin, swap yoghurt for aloe vera gel.

Patch test first: Especially if you have sensitive skin – natural doesn’t mean no reaction.

Mind the stain: Add a pinch of chickpea flour (besan) to your mask – it helps reduce staining and adds gentle exfoliation.

Don’t overdo it: Two to three times a week is plenty.
