@ Roxana; google Acanthosis Nigricans. Sounds like you have similar symptoms. I don’t know if Tumeric would get rid of the darkness, when it’s from within. Good luck.

Hi, have you considered the possibility that the hyperpigmentation might be melasma? In which case, any topical methods might be helped by going the internal route as well (eg dietary/lifestyle changes, supplements etc.)

I have brown patches spreading on my forehead & blotches on both cheeks. Had the fairest & beauty of skins before my 4. I now look horrible with severe pigmentation!! Does the tumeric & honey really work cos I’m at the stage where I’ll try anything as long as it is natural & not bleaching creams containing hydroquinne which UK have now banned due to apparantly causing severe side-effect ie cancer!!!! Anyone here can honestly say that tumeric makes a difference, then I’m seriously gonna give it a try…… Watch this space…..

I have been using tumeric with honey twice a week. It does not stain my skin, but my skin is already looking brighter after only 3 weeks of use. Will continue using it.

I have been reading about turmeric a lot lately due to its anti inflammatory properties. It seems counter-intuitive that something that could stain my kitchen counter so badly could actually lighten skin color. From the people who have tried it though, it does sound as though it works. Something to keep in mind. Thanks for the info.

Yes, for fair tones the tumeric may stain more. So, it’s best to use the night or 2 before so that the stain will have time to fade.
