Ginger is extremely valuable for overall health and immune system strengthening, as well as for a better-looking skin. Ginger root is rich in gingerol - a bioactive compound that has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Because of this, it is effective in treatments against pimples, inflammations, redness, swelling, dark circles, and wrinkles.
Ginger root contains a high concentration of vitamins A, B, and C, as well as valuable minerals (potassium, sodium, magnesium). Due to its antioxidant properties, it is used for detoxification of the whole organism (as a spice and addition to meals, tea, or drink), but also in dermatological and cosmetic purposes - for cleaning skin cells from toxins. It is used for masks, scrubs, creams, and lotions. It effectively removes surface bacteria and helps in drying and neutralizing pimples, and it has also proven good in treatments for alleviating spots and hyperpigmentation, due to its ability to even out the complexion. It accelerates metabolic processes, stimulates circulation and collagen production, thus renewing the skin and restoring its elasticity. That is why ginger is also used for anti-cellulite and anti-aging treatments.
