Curcumin for Skin Health -
In a study conducted ex vivo and in vitro, to avoid bovine serum albumin denaturation, the anti-inflammatory activities of curcumin nanospheres and curcumin were investigated and compared with diclofenac sodium. Curcumin nanospheres showed highest anti-inflammatory activity in the in vitro test [ 55 ].
Skin is an important, environmental-protective organ for the body. Chronic skin injuries allow the body to begin a complex and multistep healing process to restore the integrity of the tissue. These processes include remodeling, proliferation, inflammation and homeostasis [ 56 , 57 ].
After injury, clot is formed due to platelet aggregation. Inflammation starts at the site of injury due to migration of macrophages and neutrophils at wound location. They promote the migration of fibroblast at the wound site which starts blood vessels generation and re-epithelialization.
This phase is called proliferation, and collagen plays a major role in that [ 58 , 59 ]. Wound healing final step is scar tissue formation and remodeling of collagen.
Neutrophils is attracted to the site of injury which releases IL-1 and TNF-α [ 55 ]. The phase of inflammation is prolonged due to increased level of reactive oxygen species and destructive proteases associated with neutrophils in the area of wound, and this delays the healing of wound [ 60 , 61 ].
The anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of curcumin play a significant role in healing of wound [ 3 , 58 ]. In order to improve the rate of healing of wound, curcumin topical application showed facilitation of re-epithelialization in areas of burn wound [ 59 , 62 ]. Various clinical trials showed that curcumin improved the healing of wound, increased cuticular layer thickness and epidermal growth rate in comparison with the subjects untreated [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 ].
Another study on rat skin showed that curcumin when applied topically improved the healing of burn wound, enhanced epithelialization, formation of granulation tissue, angiogenesis in comparison with control group [ 59 ]. In research, nanovesicles of curcumin were prepared and studied in both in vitro and in vivo which helped in the prevention of skin lesions formation and damage of epithelia by inhibiting the biochemical process [ 63 ].
The nanovesicles also increased the penetration of curcumin into the skin. In general, fungal infections occurring in humans in mostly tropical and subtropical areas are more conducive to the growth and spread of fungi [ 67 ].
They posed a persistent and real danger to the lives of humans at this period. Healthy people are helpless against numerous systemic infections, subcutaneous, cutaneous and superficial infections that can change from specific conditions to serious dangerous diseases threatening to life [ 64 , 65 ].
Dermatophytes are majorly responsible for fungal infections of nails, hair and skin. Candida species are also responsible for infections that further persuade to deep tissues and may be threatening to life [ 68 ].
Continuous improvement is made in treating skin-related fungal infections with treatment, but they remain difficult to manage. In general, traditional formulations shampoo, spray, cream do not cause any adverse effects, although sometimes causes little redness, burning or itching, while oral medications may lead to several side effects.
Researchers have been investigating the use of many herbs that can be used effectively as potent antifungal agents. It is stated from studies that curcumin has significant antimicrobial activity against parasites, viruses, fungi and bacteria.
The fungal inhibitory activity of curcumin 0. Curcumin antifungal activity is shown by its action against C-5 sterol desaturase and ergosterol inhibiting activity by producing reactive oxygen species and thus shows prominent activity toward Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [ 70 , 71 ].
Curcumin also modifies the ATPase movement properties and decreases proteinase emission, contributing its antifungal activity [ 72 ]. It was able to inhibit fungi growth in mice more than that of dexamethasone administered orally [ 74 ]. The problem of development of resistance is occurring with already available antifungals, and thus, combined treatment is the medical endeavor to remedy the current condition and eradicate the fungal infection altogether.
It provides synergistic action, fewer resistance, low toxicity and broad spectrum [ 76 ]. Curcumin when used along with miconazole, fluconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole and itraconazole showed higher potency against fungi.
Similar affect was observed with nystatin and amphotericin. The minimum inhibitory concentration against candida was reduced when curcumin was used with ascorbic acid [ 77 ]. Table 2 shows the efficacy of Curcumin as an active antifungal agent.
Skin cancer is a condition in which the skin outer layers show cells malignant in nature. Skin cancer is classified into two types, i.
In melanoma cancer, melanocytes are involved, whereas in case of non-melanoma, squamous or basal cells are involved. Majority of skin cancers are categorized as non-melanoma [ 78 ].
The interaction between the environment and genes is responsible for skin cancer. The main cause of the cancer in skin is sun exposure but genetic factor also plays a crucial role in the occurrence of the cancer.
Some other factors which contribute to the skin cancer are arsenic exposure, trauma and X-rays [ 79 ]. Studies have shown that expression of cytokine can promote melanoma cell metastasis and growth. It is reported in a study that more than 80 percent of cell lines of human melanoma contain osteopontin, growth factor AA derived from platelet, vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukins—1α,6,8, transforming growth factor β and cytokines in excessive amount that stimulates angiogenesis, invasion and tumor development [ 80 ].
A study conducted in vitro with curcumin dose ranging from µm on the cell lines of fibroblast of lungs MRC-5 and cell lines of melanoma M14, MV3, A showed that as the curcumin concentration increased, melanoma cells viability decreased.
Curcumin was found responsible for triggering of melanocytes apoptosis as it suppressed NF-κB activation and proliferation. It also suppressed expression of myeloid cell leukemia-1 and protein of B cell lymphoma Bcl The induction of apoptosis by curcumin was confirmed by the increase in ratio of t-bax to Bcl Thus, curcumin was able to provide relief in the antitumor activity by inducing apoptosis [ 81 ].
Jose et al. This combination was able to inhibit the weight of tumor and progress in its volume in melanoma-based animal model in comparison with alone small interfering RNA transcription 3 activators and curcumin liposome.
Tsai et al. Li et al. In carcinogenesis of skin, crucial role is played by oxidative stress. Oxidative cell stress is generated by free radicals produced by activation of oxygen.
These free radicals are produced mainly by chemicals and UV light. Thus, curcumin which has an antioxidant property may be used as an important chemo-preventive agent for carcinogenesis of the skin of the mouse [ 85 ].
The ability of curcumin to inhibit cancer of skin can be justified by this data and thus can be used as an adjuvant therapy in its treatment. Continuous exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiations, i. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action of curcumin helps it in averting the premature aging of the skin.
It can protect the skin partially against UV deterioration which reduces the chance of skin tumors development thereby preventing premature aging. The study revealed that using the herbal gel for four weeks can significantly ameliorate the signs of photoaging and skin firmness [ 9 ].
A molecular-based biology study illustrated inhibitory effects of curcumin on UVB-induced generation of reactive oxygen species ROS and in vitro expression of matrix metalloproteinase MMP by inhibiting the activation UVB-induce of nuclear factor-κB NF-κB , mitogen-activated protein kinase and AP-1 transcription factor signal pathways [ 87 ].
Thus, curcumin can be helpful in treating photoaging. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic disease of skin with a still unclear etiology and stems from a complex combination of factors like immunity, environment and genetics [ 88 ].
Infants are likely to be affected along which it is highly prevalent in adults as well [ 89 ]. Pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis critically includes an imbalance in the subsets of T cell.
Cytokines such as IL,13,5,3 are abnormally reduced by Th2 in the initial stage, whereas this response switches over to Th1 type-immune response in the later stages, along with an intense increase in IL,12,6,1 and TNF α by monocytes [ 90 ]. Curcumin has historically been used in the countries of Asia to treat symptoms of atopic dermatitis [ 91 ].
Curcuma longa is used to isolate p -hydroxycinnamic acid a phytocomponent which inhibits the activation of T cell by modulating the pathway of PKCθ protein kinase C theta [ 20 ].
When p -hydroxycinnamic acid was administered in a model study of animals, it was observed that the keratinocytes produced reduced number of cytokines both in vitro and tissues of ear.
This led to improvement in inflammation and thickening of epidermal layer [ 93 ]. In patients patients of eczema, Herbavate® an herbal cream along with C. Safety profile was also good, as only 5 patients reported side effects, there was no local intolerance and no patient showed adverse events [ 94 ].
Some reports showed contact urticaria and dermatitis after the application of cream containing curcumin topically [ 95 , 96 , 97 ]. Thus, there is a need to establish more trial study to investigate the curcumin role in the management of atopic dermatitis. Iatrogenic dermatitis includes a number of conditions of skin inflammation which can be directly linked to medical procedures and the administration of drugs.
For instance, radiation-induced dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis fall under this category. Various studies demonstrate the efficacy of curcumin for the prophylaxis of iatrogenic dermatitis. In a model, curcumin when applied topically shows significant improvement in recovery of epithelial cell and irradiated skin, due to its anti-inflammatory activity [ 98 ].
However, the mechanism for this action of curcumin was not elucidated fully [ 82 , 91 , 92 ]. In another study, 1 g of curcumin when administered orally daily along with piperine for the period of four weeks in 46 patients, symptoms of chronic pruritus induced by sulfur mustard was improved.
Due to the curcumin antioxidant properties, the levels and activities of catalase, glutathione, superoxide dismutase in serum along with levels of markers of inflammation were reduced [ 9 ]. Curcumin illustrates a multiplicity of important medicinal properties which has a great potential in treating various dermatological diseases.
The clinical studies cited in the article reveal that curcumin has an exceptional anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial activities, which can be efficaciously and appropriately utilized in treating skin conditions like psoriasis, acne, dermatitis, scleroderma, skin cancers, skin aging, fungal infections and wounds.

Curcumin protects skin by quenching free radicals and reducing inflammation through nuclear factor-KB inhibition. Curcumin treatment also reduced wound-healing time, improved collagen deposition and increased fibroblast and vascular density in wounds thereby enhancing both normal and impaired wound-healing.Curcumin for Skin Health -
The role of turmeric in skincare is the focus of this discussion, although this orange-golden-colored spice has been central to the centuries-old practice of Indian healing, traditional Chinese medicine, the Unani system of South Asia, and numerous other health approaches, touted as a cure for everything from arthritis to digestive disorders to liver and urinary ailments to wound healing.
Turmeric is also used as a nutritional supplement, but consulting your doctor is highly recommended because regular ingestion may not be right for you.
Fortunately, experts do agree on the skincare benefits of turmeric in topical applications. In fact, research indicates that the skin-friendly substances contained in turmeric have been part of Ayurvedic tradition for 4, years.
Turmeric is a flowering plant in the ginger family. This perennial is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, requiring temperatures between 68 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit and high annual rainfall to grow to a mature height of 3 feet.
After being boiled and dried, the rhizomes creeping horizontal rootstalks are ground into the powder used as a coloring dye, flavoring agent, food additive, and skin-nourishing substance.
Rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamins, curcumin is responsible for skin treatments that have been practiced for thousands of years.
That the use of turmeric pronounced TURR-murr-ick goes back millennia is well documented by archeological finds in Indian temples and Israeli tombs dating between and BCE. Medical texts written in the 7th century BCE and found in the ruins of Nineveh near present-day Mosul in northern Iraq mention turmeric.
Carried along trade routes throughout the known world, in medieval Europe turmeric was known as Indian saffron and used along with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile to formulate skincare masks for royalty and the highborn.
Thanks to the bio-active component curcumin, turmeric is filled with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties that can improve skin health and appearance.
Check out these benefits. Skincare products formulated with turmeric and curcumin help improve the appearance of skin irregularities like blotchiness, blemishes, dark spots, discolorations, dullness, redness, and unevenness.
Because it adds brightness and luster, turmeric is often used at Indian weddings and other rituals to revitalize skin before a big event. Free radicals develop after exposure to an environmental stressor such as UV radiation, air pollution, radiation, or smoking build up on the skin and lead to visible changes.
Free radicals are complicated and not well understood; suffice it to say that these unstable molecules can damage cells, causing illness and aging, especially if left on the skin. By helping neutralize free radicals, the antioxidants in turmeric limit damage. With anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial ingredients, turmeric helps kill the bacteria that cause acne and psoriasis and may counteract some irritants that trigger atopic dermatitis.
Turmeric application also reduces inflammation and dryness, leading to less scarring and allowing the skin to heal. This common skin concern results from lack of sleep, unhealthy eating, hyperpigmentation from excess melanin, and spending too much time on computer and phone screens, among other causes.
As a lightening agent, turmeric minimizes the appearance of dark circles by boosting circulation to reduce puffiness and lighten under-eye skin. Another frequent complaint has to do with dull, dried-out complexion, especially during winter.
Turmeric-based products return moisture, in part by removing dead cells so new ones can regenerate, as well as adding fatty acids and vitamins to the skin. The curcumin found in turmeric helps lessen fine lines, age spots, and wrinkles by counteracting age-related dryness, strengthening elasticity, retaining moisture, and boosting collagen production.
Natural oil balance is also restored. When it comes to incorporating turmeric products into skincare, you have two choices: buy over-the-counter or make your own. Both methods are effective; the difference is how much work you want to put into your turmeric routine.
The advantage of OTC products is they are widely available and ready to use. Avoid using turmeric directly on your skin if you're allergic to it. It may otherwise lead to swelling, redness, or irritation. A homemade turmeric cleanser is helpful to prevent acne, dark spots and ageing signs. Follow the steps for preparing a DIY cleanser.
