I used a tube up once, but I didn't really see it making a difference in my skin, though my mom said my skin looked good.

Turmeric actually has anti-inflammatory properties and is an antiseptic. Many cultures use fresh turmeric paste or powder on cuts, infections, and all sorts of health problems. For skin care, it's used to clear up acne, soften the skin, and brightening and toning your complexion. In South Asian weddings, they apply the paste all over the bride's skin (face and body) the day before the wedding for the softening and brightening. I'd use it if I wasn't scared of it tinting my skin yellow!
