🧡 Ground Turmeric

It contains curcumin that has antioxidant properties that keeps skin feeling and looking youthful and healthy.

🧡 Rosehip Oil

Rosehip oil, which is extracted from the Rosa Canina fruit and seed, is one of the best oils for hyperpigmentation.

It contains a high percentage of the essential fatty acids, omega 3 & 6, as well as significant quantities of carotenoids, which is a powerful antioxidant and previtamin A that not only gives it a deep orangish color, but also makes it a potent oil for beautifying skin deeply.

Rosehip oil is prized for brightening hyperpigmentation, balancing oily skin, moisturizing and softening the skin as well as adding a dewy glow.

🧡 Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil has a similar chemical structure to that of our skin’s own natural oils, also known as sebum. This makes it a safe oil to add to this DIY turmeric scrub for hyperpigmentation which you may be using on fragile places such as the bikini area or armpits.

It also has strong anti-inflammatory properties which combats redness, inflammation and damage to the skin due to a variety of factors including skin care, UV rays from the sun, acne marks and more.
