Hallow Dear,
Turmeric increases the complexion of the skin. The marks on the skin are in the deeper layers of the skin; hence they may not be removed by turmeric powder.
Yes, the Ayurvedic experts do claim that turmeric does arrest the hair growth at the unwanted places and improves the skin complexion. That is why it is applied to the brides during various marriage ceremony.
I hope this helps you.
