Ginger, otherwise known as Zingiber Officinale, is a plant that is native to Southeast Asia. Ginger has been used in Asian cultures for thousands of years to help treat fever and digestive problems.
When it comes to skin care, ginger is a great antioxidant. Along with its ability to fight off free radicals, ginger helps to enhance skin radiance, reduce hyperpigmentation and decrease inflammation. Ginger is also known to help energize the skin and therefore improve circulation. For this reason, it is often used in spas as a cellulite reducing treatment.
Ginger has also been found to have antiseptic properties which means it can help kill off bacteria that cause breakouts.
