- Ginger reduces redness and inflammation, clarifies acne-prone skin, and soothes irritation.
- Antioxidants in carrots fight premature aging and spots.
- Vitamin C in carrots boosts collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.
- Ginger enhances blood circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
- Detoxifying ginger helps clear acne and promotes a clear complexion.
