Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated or finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon plain yogurt (optional for sensitive skin)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or coconut oil (optional for added moisture)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ginger Base:
Grate or finely chop a small piece of fresh ginger root. You’ll need about 1 tablespoon. Ginger contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that help improve skin elasticity and tone. - Mix the Ingredients:
In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger with raw honey and lemon juice. Stir well to form a smooth paste.
(Optional: Add plain yogurt if you have sensitive skin, and olive/coconut oil for extra hydration.) - Cleanse Your Face:
Wash your face with warm water and a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt or makeup. Pat dry with a clean towel. - Apply the Mixture:
Using clean fingers or a brush, apply the ginger mask evenly to your face—focusing on areas with wrinkles, freckles, or dark spots. Avoid the eye area, as ginger can be quite strong. - Leave On for 10–15 Minutes:
Let the mask sit for up to 15 minutes. You might feel a slight tingling—this is normal due to ginger’s active properties. If it burns or becomes too uncomfortable, wash it off immediately. - Rinse Off:
Gently rinse your face with lukewarm water, then splash with cold water to tighten pores. Pat dry. - Moisturize:
Follow up with a natural moisturizer to lock in hydration—aloe vera gel or vitamin E oil works great.
Tips for Best Results:
- Use 2–3 times per week for noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture.
- Always do a patch test first to check for sensitivity.
- Use sunscreen daily—lemon can increase sun sensitivity.
