Can turmeric, lemon and petroleum treat wrinkles and dry hands?
Turmeric and lemon are kitchen ingredients that are often used in the world of skin beauty. These two ingredients are claimed to be able to make skin wrinkle-free. Turmeric contains an active compound called curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The presence of curcumin can reduce and heal inflammatory damage. This content is also able to increase collagen production in the skin. In this way, turmeric is claimed to be able to tighten and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Meanwhile, lemon contains astringent properties that help refresh and tighten the skin. This astiringent can reduce wrinkles on the hands. On the other hand, lemon also contains citric acid which is claimed to reduce excess oil and clean pores.
Meanwhile, another additional ingredient, namely petroleum jelly, is a moisturizing agent. Petroleum jelly will help lock in natural moisture and then form a protective layer over the skin and prevent it from losing water. Due to its ability to deeply moisturize the skin, petroleum jelly can also help reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles.
Lemon is believed to be effective in brightening the skin.
Lemons are high in vitamin C which can help remove wrinkles and brighten the skin. Reporting from skinkraft.com, the vitamin C content is believed to reduce the production of melanin (the skin pigment that causes darkening). The citric acid content in lemon is useful as a natural exfoliant which can remove dead skin cells and then regenerate new skin cells.
