Most everyone knows that ginger is highly regarded for its health benefits and culinary talents. But did you ever think to rub ginger on your skin? Yep, that's right. Ginger works double time on the dermis. If your skin is looking blotchy, drab or crepey, ginger may be your salvation.
You know that warm feeling you get when you eat ginger? Well, that's the active stuff that is working to soothe the stomach, quell the queasies and AND revitalize the skin. Here's how it works: Ginger naturally boosts blood flow, which in turn helps bring energy to the skin, stimulate circulation and speed healing.
Ginger is also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. These natural healing properties assist in slowing the aging process by improving your skin's elasticity and guarding against environmental damage. A recent study conducted at Tokyo University further supports ginger's benefits to the skin. The clinical research found that ginger extract "potentially inhibits wrinkle formation and improves skin elasticity in the area around the corners of the eyes."

And that's not all: When ginger is combined with other active ingredients in skin care, the bioavailability of the overall product increases. Say what? Ginger has the capacity to insure each ingredient works better to promptly deliver its individual benefits to the skin to help produce a brighter, healthier complexion.
Now, are you wondering why a food company is talking skin? Well, you may of heard the news that we've branched out.
