ginger anti aging cream

Here’s a  recipe for a ginger anti-aging cream that you can make at home. Ginger is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties that help combat signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines.

Ginger Anti-Aging Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger juice (or ginger essential oil, if preferred)

• 1/4 cup coconut oil (moisturizing and antioxidant-rich)

• 2 tablespoons shea butter (nourishing and helps skin elasticity)

• 1 tablespoon almond oil (light and absorbs well)

• 1 tablespoon beeswax pellets (to thicken the cream)

• 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (natural preservative and antioxidant)

• 5 drops frankincense essential oil (optional, great for skin rejuvenation)

• 5 drops lavender essential oil (optional, soothing and anti-inflammatory)

Equipment:

• Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl

• Small mixing bowl

• Clean jar or container for storage

• Stirring utensil (spoon or spatula)

• Measuring spoons and cups

Instructions:

1. Extract Ginger Juice:

   • Peel and grate fresh ginger.

   • Squeeze the grated ginger through a cheesecloth or fine strainer to extract the juice.

   • You’ll need about 1 tablespoon of juice. (If you use ginger essential oil, use 2-3 drops instead.)

2. Melt Base Ingredients:

   • In a double boiler, combine the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax pellets.

   • Gently heat until everything is melted and well combined. Stir occasionally.

3. Add Oils:

   • Remove from heat.

   • Stir in almond oil and vitamin E oil.

4. Add Ginger and Essential Oils:

   • Add the fresh ginger juice (or essential oil) and stir quickly to incorporate.

   • Add frankincense and lavender essential oils if using, and mix well.

5. Cool and Whip (Optional):

   • Let the mixture cool slightly, then whip it with a hand mixer or whisk for a lighter texture.

   • Alternatively, just let it cool and solidify naturally.

6. Transfer to Container:

   • Pour the cream into a clean jar or container.

   • Let it cool completely before sealing.

How to Use:

• Apply a small amount to your face and neck after cleansing, preferably at night.

• Massage gently in upward circular motions.

• Store in a cool, dry place. Use within 2-3 months.

Tips:

• If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test before full use.

• You can adjust the consistency by adding more beeswax (for thicker cream) or more almond oil (for lighter cream).

• Keep out of direct sunlight to preserve the cream’s properties.
