Tumeric is a spice. Here is something about it from Wikipedia:

Cosmetics

Turmeric is currently used in the formulation of some sunscreens. Turmeric paste is used by some Indian women to keep them free of superfluous hair. Turmeric paste is applied to bride and groom before marriage in some places of India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, where it is believed turmeric gives glow to skin and keeps some harmful bacteria away from the body.


I was wondering about the Braun 5270 Silk-epil X'elle Body System Epilator

Has anyone tried that?
