Fights Signs of Skin Aging The antioxidants in turmeric can protect your skin against free-radical damage, which in turn, slows down the signs of aging like dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. However, curcumin supplements should be taken only after consulting your doctor. To reduce wrinkles or fine lines, mix a quarter tablespoon of organic turmeric powder and 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt. Apply it on the affected area and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse it off with water. Do this 2 or 3 times a week.
