For years, I searched for that one skincare product that could truly bring out a natural glow. I have tried many DIY remedies for my skin and also tried expensive serums, creams, but the results never lasted. It was when I came to Shillong for my Masters, I came to know about Lakadong turmeric, a rare variety grown in the hills of Meghalaya. Lakadong contains 7–12% curcumin, much higher than regular turmeric, which meant more antioxidants and anti-inflammatory power for the skin and that was enough for me to give it a try.
How did I start my Lakadong Turmeric routineÂ
Week 1: My First Attempt
I began with a simple DIY face mask, just Lakadong turmeric, honey, and yoghurt. The bright yellow colour instantly felt more vibrant than the regular turmeric from the kitchen shelf. After the first application, I didn’t expect much, but I noticed my skin felt cleaner, smoother, and calmer. The redness around my cheeks softened; surprisingly, it didn’t leave that deep yellow stain on my face. My DIY Mask: To begin, I mixed 1 teaspoon of Lakadong turmeric powder with 1 tablespoon of gram flour (besan), 2 teaspoons of yoghurt or raw milk, and a dash of honey. Then, apply it evenly on my face and leave it for 15–20 minutes. Finally, rinse with lukewarm water.
Week 3: When the Glow Appeared
After using the DIY mask for 2 weeks, the results became visible, my skin tone looked more even, brighter, and those little acne scars also started fading naturally. Even my friends and family started noticing my glowing skin, that’s when I realized it was the magic of Lakadong turmeric. My skin felt healthier, not just from the outside but from within. The best part about the Lakadong turmeric are no irritation, no breakouts, just calm, balanced skin.
What Makes Lakadong Turmeric So Powerful
Curious about why it worked so well, I did a little research. It turns out, curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, helps fight acne, reduce pigmentation, and slow signs of aging. Since Lakadong turmeric has  7–12% curcumin, it’s like giving your skin a natural shield against dullness, pollution, and stress. It also reduces acne and blemishes, brightens skin tone naturally, fights inflammation and redness, prevents premature wrinkles. Honestly, I realized skincare doesn’t have to be complicated but, sometimes the simplest ingredients bring the most effective results.
My Current Routine
Now, Lakadong turmeric is a permanent part of my weekly skincare route. Twice a week, I use the honey-yogurt mask, and once a week, I mix it with gram flour and rose water for gentle exfoliation.At night, I even add a pinch of it to my warm milk, it helps me sleep better and gives that soft, inside-out glow over time.
Finally, I have come to believe that nature always knows best. Lakadong turmeric not only transformed my skin but also changed how I look at beauty: simple, pure, and rooted in tradition. If you have been struggling with dullness, acne marks, or uneven tone, I genuinely recommend giving Lakadong turmeric a try. It’s not an instant miracle, but it’s a journey worth taking. My skin now feels more confident. not because it is perfect, but because it is naturally radiant.
