Ginger is rich in:
- Gingerol β a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and skin-healing properties.
- Vitamin C β helps brighten the skin and even out tone.
- Amino acids & minerals β promote circulation and improve skin elasticity.
Some claim that gingerβs antioxidant effects may support collagen production and skin cell renewal, helping reduce the appearance of:
- Fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Dark spots and freckles
- Dull, uneven skin tone
While not a replacement for clinical Botox, ginger can support youthful skin naturally when used consistently.
