Care Beauty

• First of all, I should point out that we work with fresh ginger, so these recipes will not last long and should be used immediately.

Here are two ways to prepare ginger before starting our recipes:

1- Use a spoon instead of a traditional peeler to peel ginger. You do not need a peeler for ginger, in fact the peeler wastes some of it, while

• The spoon only removes the brown peel. Hold the ginger in one hand and the spoon in the other, then gently pass the tip of the spoon over the ginger peel from top to bottom to remove the brown peel quickly and easily.

2- You can keep ginger for several months in the refrigerator, provided that it is peeled and preserved in high-quality alcohol. Just peel and chop the ginger and put it in alcohol and keep it in the refrigerator. You can make a martini from a mixture of alcohol and ginger.

Let’s use ginger now in your beauty recipes and let’s start with your toes

1- Ginger for beauty with ginger and mustard infusion to get rid of toxins and warm the feet:

Mustard decoction for feet is a traditional home remedy for coughing, sneezing, cold and most cases of stress and fatigue. You do not need special tools, just fill the bathtub with warm water and add the ingredients to it.

Note: Boiling water weakens the effect of mustard and nullifies its benefits, so make sure that the water is warm.

the recipe:

• Half a tablespoon of mustard
• 2 tablespoons ginger, peeled and grated
• Cover your feet with the soaking and leave it for 15-20 minutes, add warm water
• If the soaking water gets cold, rinse your feet with warm water after soaking them.

2- Ginger to beautify the fresh ginger recipe to hide body scars and traces of wounds

Body scars are cut wounds that have lost the main body pigment, so their color is white and shiny in relation to the rest of the skin, and fresh ginger completely hides these scars. I read about ginger healing for the effects of wounds in beauty books, and I searched for people who personally tested this remedy and actually found some of them and confirmed that ginger hid all the scars on their bodies!

Here is the description:

• Put a thin ginger slice on the wound daily or every two days and leave it for some time. Do not wash it off with water and leave fresh ginger juice to cover the wound.
• You will notice an improvement after two weeks, and with continued use of the treatment, the skin will return to its natural color.

3- Ginger and lemon mask to exfoliate the skin The most beautiful ways to use ginger for beauty:

One of the most noted advantages of ginger is its amazing ability to give you a refreshing and tangy feeling, add ginger to lemon peel and sugar and you will get a refreshing and cleansing mixture for the body.

Here is the secret: Ginger is considered one of the most important natural anti-cellulites, and its frequent use eliminates cellulite in the body.

Recipe of ginger with lemon to clean the skin:

• Half a cup of organic sugar
• Quarter cup of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons ginger, peeled and grated
• Lemon peel Put the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together, massage your skin with the mixture and rinse well, you can keep it for a week as a maximum, and it is preferable to use it immediately.

4- For a warm, romantic message, make ginger and rose oil for beauty with ginger.

Valentine’s Day is approaching, if you are thinking about the gifts that you will give from now, you will not find better than a small bottle filled with ginger oil with dried roses.

The only note if you are extracting ginger oil the old way is to add a few drops of rosemary oil to help preserve it for as long as possible, because fresh ginger contains some juice that may help in rotting it and spoiling its smell.

But rest assured, ginger is highly anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, and for extra reassurance I use a preservative “rosemary oil” in an amber quantity, or use dried ginger.

• You can also put the ginger soaked with rose oil on a heavy fire and then use it immediately afterwards.

Here is how to prepare:

•  1 inch ginger, peeled and rinsed well, thinly sliced
• 10-12 small dried roses
• 1-3 cm Aroma carrier oil, olive – hazelnut – sweet almond
• Put all ingredients together in a small glass bowl and shake well
• Tap the sides of the bowl with your fingers until the ginger slices fall to the bottom. Leave the mixture for seven days.
• Shake it well every day, or put it on a very low heat for 30-60 minutes until it is ready to use.
• It is used away from sensitive places in the body because it is a strong and stinging oil – you can use it as a reliever for muscle pain.

5- Mixing ginger and cinnamon to make bath salts

We have reached the fifth and final recipe, you can use sea salts to relieve muscle pain, and for a stronger and faster effect, use English salt, add your home touch of cinnamon and ginger, to stimulate blood circulation and help you relax and relieve the pain caused by a long day.
