Skin is our shield against a world of bacteria and pollutants. It is our first defence against disease and the first thing anyone sees of us. It’s possible to tell a lot about a person from their skin and in modelling, skin is also what the camera sees first. Airbrushing and photo manipulation are always possible, but to get a foot in the door in teen modelling not only do you need an agency, you need to look the part.Turmeric has been used as beauty product over the centuries. Here are some uses of it that may surprise you and help you look like a model.
Exfoliating
Turmeric is an excellent exfoliating agent and can help you defeat the signs of ageing. Take flour and turmeric powder in equal proportions and make a paste by adding water. You may prepare this paste in raw milk or even yoghurt. Apply it evenly on your body and leave it till it dries off. Wash it off with lukewarm water and scrub your face gently in circular motion.
Acne
Not only does turmeric take care of the scars and inflammation but also reduce oil secretion by sebaceous glands. These are the source of many a woe in modelling. To prepare a turmeric scrub, add a few drops of water and lemon juice to turmeric powder. Apply the paste on the acne affected area and leave it for about 15 minutes. Gently scrub it off your face with plain water. You can also use turmeric and sandalwood mixture as an acne face pack and wash it off in approximately 10 minutes.For acne scars, dab a mixture of turmeric and plain water and leave it on the marks for 15 minutes.To control oil secretion, prepare a paste of sandalwood powder and ground turmeric with orange juice. Leave the paste on your face for 10 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.
Facial hair
Facial hair is a no go in female teen modelling. Chickpea flour or gram flour added to kasturi turmeric can be used as a facial scrub to inhibit hair growth. Apply this paste for about a month to notice results. Remember that home remedies usually show results over a period of time upon consistent use and are not quick fixes. You must be persistent.
Burns
In case you accidently burn your skin or get sunburned on a modelling shoot you can turn to turmeric for quick relief owing to its antiseptic properties. Prepare a mixture of turmeric and aloe vera gel. Apply it on the burn and notice how it quickly heals the wound and soothes the pain.
