Ginger In Skincare

Welcome to my Vlogs By Rukia Sheppard

Ginger is a superfood that has skin rejuvenation properties. Both ingesting ginger and applying it topically are said to have anti-aging benefits. Ginger contains numerous antioxidant properties that may prevent free radical damage and protect against aging.

The antioxidant gingerol fights skin-damaging free radicals while promoting a smooth and even skin tone. Ginger also has vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids that aid in strengthening the hair, and may also increase circulation to the scalp.

If the ginger in your formula comes from essential oils, it may cause irritation or allergic forms of eczema in more sensitive skin types. Instead, try Ginger Root Extract or add powdered ginger root to your formulations.
