It's true! It turns out that many of the spices that help us whip up the perfect batch of cookies, chicken dishes, or skillet of fajitas can have profound benefits for the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToo much sun exposure, a bad diet, excessive sugar intake, smoking, and drinking can all exacerbate the body's natural aging process—but if you learn to incorporate a few of these time-honored spices into your beauty routine, you might find that you can combat even the most severe signs of aging. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: right;\" class=\"img-responsive\" alt=\"Superfood Spices\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/7719\/1993\/files\/superfood-spices.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTurmeric\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you haven't heard of Turmeric, you're not alone. Of course, not many people know this spice's name, but everyone, at least those who enjoy Indian food, is familiar with the taste and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a surprisingly yellowish-orange spice with a smooth, almost dust-like texture that adds sweet and savory flavors to whatever meal it finds itself in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt turns out that Turmeric is an excellent addition to curry and is also great for the skin. In addition, Turmeric detoxifies and is a \u003ca href=\"\/en-de\/collections\/antioxidants\" title=\"super-efficient antioxidant\"\u003esuper-efficient antioxidant\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen used in skincare, it can eliminate free radicals, draw impurities out of the skin, calm inflammation, and improve circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurmeric can be added to food as a spice or a colorant, taken as a supplement, or used in skincare. Some cultures drink it as tea and use it for medicinal purposes. It contains curcumin, a very potent antioxidant. Plus, it has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCayenne\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benefits of cayenne pepper cannot be overstated. Even if you are not a fan of spicy foods, the capsaicin that cayenne contains is a potent anti-inflammatory, making it perfect for puffy, aging skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also invigorates the skin, drawing blood flow to the area. Increased circulation can improve the texture and color of your complexion. It can also help wash away impurities like age spots. And provides the nutrients that your face needs to generate a fresh, renewed layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCinnamon\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot just a topping for coffee and hot chocolate, cinnamon has been used in skincare for centuries. In addition, natural cinnamon—not the fake stuff we often use here in America in place of the natural cinnamon bark—has been widely used as a medicine worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other spices, it is both an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. It will also encourage improved circulation, which is ideal for improving the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It is also full of essential nutrients that are great for your complexion. It encourages healthy collagen that is uncross-linked, which can help your face become more elastic and resilient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-de\/pages\/about\" title=\"WSU Human Development Skincare Specialist\"\u003eKari Thomas\u003c\/a\u003e wrote this article.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/7719\/1993\/collections\/e316d892f640f328f1d739551ee3225f_9c738c4d-f727-4227-a4b9-0a450bba8854-1740582.jpg?v=1762819267","url":"https:\/\/nituralorganicskincare.com\/en-de\/collections\/spices-with-the-best-anti-aging-benefits.oembed","provider":"Skin Perfection Natural and Organic Skin Care","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
