Make your weekend self care plans with Ginger for your skin and hair

The weekend has arrived, knocking on your phone screens to let you know it's time to take a much-needed break and step into the stress-free zone. Self-care is the best gift you can give yourself because it is essential for breaking free from the daily grind. Indulge in activities that interest you, and if skincare and haircare are on your "to-do" list, we’re here to help you chill out with an efficacious ancient ingredient. 

Let’s get to the “root” of this flowering plant. Ginger is often touted as a cure-all remedy for cold, dandruff, and to fade scars. While it has managed to enter your kitchen centuries ago, it has slowly journeyed into skincare and haircare repertoires with time. It boasts the power of antioxidant gingerol, which helps evens out skin tone and fights free radicals. Thanks to its ample contribution of anti-ageing, and anti-bacterial properties that aid in improving skin elasticity and tackling acne. When used for hair care, it promotes hair growth and its antiseptic agents control dandruff. Try these DIYs to maximise their advantages. Conduct a patch test before you apply anything natural to your skin and hair.
