Ginger root has warming and invigorating properties, which makes it an excellent cleanser for the skin and face. In fact, ginger stimulates the skin, increases the blood flow and provides a warming effect when used to clean the skin. Mix the ginger with other ingredients when you want to use it as a facial or skin cleanser.
