Beauty Secrets of Ginger

In addition to its medicinal value, ginger has been used in skin care as well. It is often used in a number of commercial products to improve the skin. Ginger juice is often applied topically to treat several skin issues. Given below are the benefits of ginger for the skin:

1.Anti-Aging Benefits

Ginger contains around 40 antioxidant compounds that protect against aging. It improves the appearance of your skin by removing the toxins and stimulating the circulation, resulting in the delivery of more nutrients to the skin. The antioxidants prevent damage from the free radicals, thus preserving the youthful appearance of the skin. It improves the elasticity, making your skin more firm and youthful. In this way, it slows down the signs of aging.

2.Radiance-Boosting Ginger Mask

Ginger is known to make skin radiant and applying it topically can make your skin glow. Simply take 1 Tbsp of ginger juice with 2 Tbsp of rosewater, and a half Tbsp of honey. Mix well, then apply evenly to your face. Leave on for 20 minutes and rinse.

3.White Scars

Hypopigmented scars occur when the skin loses its pigmentation, and are generally white or much lighter than the actual skin tone. Ginger can reduce the appearance of hypopigmented skin to a significant extent. All you need to do is cut a sliver of fresh ginger and dab it on the hypopigmented areas and leave it for some time. You will see a slight improvement within a week or two. However, this should be done every day without fail for noticeable results.

4.Tones Skin

Ginger is known for its aphrodisiac, antioxidant and toning properties, which contribute to a radiant skin. You can prepare a simple mask by mixing 2 grated gingers with 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. Apply it on your face and rinse with cool water after 30 minutes. This will nourish and soften your skin and prevent aging.

5.Soothes Burns

Applying fresh ginger juice can relieve the pain and heal burnt skin by restoring it to the natural position. You can also rub a fresh ginger slice on the skin 2 to 3 times a day to fade the scars within 6 to 12 weeks. Ensure to use a fresh ginger slice each time for topical application.

6.Fresh Ginger-Lemon Body Scrub

Ginger is highly-regarded as one of nature’s best cellulite reducers, so if you do this regularly, you may see a difference in the bumps!

1/2 c. organic sugar

1/4 c. olive oil

2 tsp freshly grated, peeled ginger

Zest from one organic lemon

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well. In the shower or bath, scrub your body lightly with the mixture and rinse well. This should keep in the refrigerator (if necessary) for up to a week. But I highly recommend you use it immediately.

7.Especially Hyperpigmentation

You can apply a small sliver of ginger directly on spots (keep away from eyes), then rinse. For an all-over treatment, you can create a ginger toner: take 1 cup of fresh ginger juice, mix it with 1 Tbsp.honey and dab on skin with a cotton pad. You can apply generously and allow to sit for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
