do not use turmeric powder which is for cooking as it may contain other ingredients and coloring. buy real turmeric and grind it and mix with gram flour and water or honey. after 10 mins or when it becomes dry, you can wash it off, but make sure you use your face wash or soap to remove the yellow color. and be careful with your clothes, bathrobe, towel, wash basin, bathroom door and all other places as it may turn yellow and very difficult to remove the stain.

fresh tumeric root and ginger, peeled, then finely sliced and steeped in boiling water. you can add a crushed clove of garlic to this as well. i drink this every morning before i do meditation. i never get sick, my digestion is efficient and my skin .. more than youthful. maybe it's the tumeric,... maybe meditation, maybe both...

well this answer is for the first question here.it's not very easy to remove turmeric stains.but if you have stained your countertops or bathtubs then you can use any household cleaning spray like 409 or clorox.and if you have stained your clothes then just apply some lemon juice and leave it to dry in sunlight.the stain will turn red and eventually it will disappear.good luck

turmeric is so cool- it really does make your skin smoother and more glowy. you can apply it as a mask, mixed with sandalwood powder or just add it to a clay mask, at night. it will stain your skin yellow a little, but leave that on overnight and sleep on a pillowcase that you don't care about. wash it off in the morning with a scrub. you can also make turmeric tea by just adding a tablespoon or turmeric powder to hot water or milk and drink it at night. turmeric is a potent anti-oxidant and anti- inflammatory. and it's such a beautiful color. yay, turmeric!

some years before i suffered from acne which left some scars.the dermatologist prescribed me creams to remove them but it made my skin very dry.someone advised me to get rid of acne to use fresh turmeric(grounded)mixed with yoghurt and some drops of lemon juice.apply on the face (avoiding the eye area).leave it till it dries completely.i did that regularly and couldn't believe the results myself!the scars disappeared completely,my skin became very soft and lustrous too.my complexion even! it does wonders to indian skin tone.but as for people with white skin think maybe they'll have to use less turmeric to avoid the yellow colour.but even for indian skin it leaves a yellow colour.but you can easily remove it by using a cleansing milk. do give it a try and hope it will work wonders on your skin too!

you can buy pure turmeric powder from any local indian grocery store. ask around if you need to. make a paste with water and roll it into a small ball the size of a pea. then take two a day. you will notice difference in 3 weeks or less. it helps with skin, inflammation, joints, artery, lowering cholesterol ... overall being. not sure about the unwanted hair. i wouldnt recommend putting turmeric on skin, it can make your skin yellow.
