Ginger and Turmeric Benefits for the Skin

Gingerols, derived from ginger root extract, possess remarkable properties that greatly benefit skin health. This potent combination of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents effectively shields your skin from harmful free radicals that accelerate aging. Moreover, gingerols aid in achieving a balanced skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and marks caused by injuries. As a bonus, they enhance skin elasticity, resulting in a noticeably healthier and more radiant complexion.

Turmeric is an incredible spice that goes beyond just adding color and flavor to our favorite curries. Did you know that it also possesses powerful anti-inflammatory properties? These benefits extend both internally and externally, making it a truly remarkable addition to your culinary and wellness routine.

Curcumin, found in turmeric, may reduce swelling and irritations in the body while providing numerous benefits for the skin. Ongoing research explores the uses of turmeric, but in the meantime, indulge in a cozy ginger and turmeric tea during chilly winters!

How to Make Turmeric Tea

First: Start with one tablespoon of Bee Inspired’s loose-leaf Beautea; by doing this, you can skip the fresh ginger and fresh Turmeric in the next step.

Second: Cut a few lemon slices and place them in a mug. If you do not have Beautea (from step one), add fresh-cut Turmeric and ginger to the mug.
