Price and availability
I am a big fan of essential oils. I have been using different oils since past two years but never thought of buying turmeric essential oil. So I got this Good Vibes Turmeric Essential Oil From purplle.com because it is very affordable and I wanted to try something from this brand. The packaging is a blue glass bottle with a very secure golden screw cap and a plastic seal which needs to be perforated in order to use the oil. This brand Good Vibes is exclusively available on purplle.com. They offer affordable natural products. This turmeric essential oil retails for Rs.145 only for 10ml bottle.
Different Ways of Using Turmeric Essential Oil
Here are some of my favorite ways to use turmeric essential oil for skin and hair care. Remember no remedy works over night so you have to be patient and use regularly.
- Mix 2-3 drops of turmeric essential oil with half a teaspoon of carrier oil. Now if you have dry skin use almond oil and for oily skin use olive oil. Just mix them together and massage on your face, neck, body. You can wipe off the excess oil with a wet cloth after the massage to avoid excess oiliness and then go to sleep. This simple thing can easily replace your night creams. If you have acne, blemish, fine lines and early signs of ageing, dark spots, this remedy targets all these skin concerns and gives visible results within a week.
- For treating uneven skin tone just mix a few drops of this golden oil to your body scrub or body lotion and apply. You will notice some amazing change in no time.
- You can do spot treatment with this too. Take a drop of turmeric essential oil onto your palm. Dab your forefinger in the oil and then rub it directly on the acne, dark spot. It will reduce in no time. Specially if you have hormonal imbalance and your acne is not going away you should give it try. I found this one is working better on my hard acne than tea tree essential oil.
- If you don’t like facial oils then simply add few drops of turmeric essential oil to your normal day cream, night cream or moisturizer, mix and apply. You will get similar results. Also his one comes handy when you are travelling since it is a fuss free way to use essential oils.
- Make a DIY face mask using besan, curd, lemon juice and add a few drops of turmeric essential oil to the paste, apply on face, wash off when dry. This gives instant glow to the skin, removes dullness, treats acne and dark spots when used regularly.
- For dandruff care or hail fall control take some hot oil of your choice (I prefer a mix of coconut and olive oil), add 3-5 drops of turmeric essential oil, mix and immediately apply this to your scalp. Don’t forget to give your scalp a good massage. Keep this for at least an hour or the best overnight. Wash with a mild herbal shampoo. Repeat this 2-3 times a week.
- Another way for dandruff care which is specially for those who do not like to oil their hair very often. Mix aloe 2tsp vera gel and 1tsp multani mitti to form a paste, you can add water. Now add 4-5 drops of turmeric essential oil to this thick paste, mix and apply on your scalp with light massage. Wash off when it dries, you won’t even need shampoo nor conditioner. This is the best cleanser cum conditioner for greasy scalp.
- Lastly, mix some of this golden potion with any oil or foot cream. Apply on cracked heels. You’ll see visibly smoother heels which will heal with continuous usage. Severely cracked heels may take longer time to heal. Be patient and continue using this you will get great results.
