I love putting Turmeric powder in a lot of my dishes but I never even realized the other ways you can use it! Can you just use Turmeric powder that you find at grocery stores, the one used for food? Is it the same? or is there a more pure version or correct version that I can use on my face and skin and etc? By the way, thank you so much for visiting my blog and for your sweet comment!
