Spice for skin

Spices for detoxifying:
Spices in cooking are great for the detoxifying process because they aid digestion, which helps overall health and is especially helpful in nourishing the skin. Turmeric is probably the best friend of the skin, because it purifies the deeper layers and also is a potent antioxidant. Cumin, fenugreek, black pepper and turmeric purify the blood and fat tissue. Black pepper and turmeric also cleanse the nutrient fluid and the sweat (the waste product of fat tissue).

Skin-Nourishing Spice Mixture
3 parts turmeric
6 parts coriander
6 parts fennel
1 part black pepper

You can sprinkle this mixture when cooking curries, dhals, or spicy rice dishes.

Enjoy Fez
