Help Clear Acne: Ginger Turmeric Shot Recipe + Skincare For Acne
It took me years to realize my acne was not just a topical issue or internal issue alone. Acne clearing takes a synergy of skincare, diet, lifestyle and emotional shifts to promote biological changes in the skin. Below you’ll discover one of my favorite immune juice shots to help support clear skin from within, along with some of my favorite skincare solutions for acne prone skin.
Turmeric Ginger Shots
This juice shot is one of my favorites for an antibacterial, immune supporting, inflammation calming boost to help fight acne!
Ingredients:
4 inches turmeric
4 inches fresh ginger
2 oranges
4 garlic cloves
Makes 2 to 4 servings
Turmeric Ginger Shot Benefits:
Turmeric is famous for containing curcumin, a phytochemical with anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric is said to help purify the blood.
Garlic is known as nature’s antibiotic and also contains anti-fungal, anti-cancer, and anti-viral properties.
Ginger promotes a healthy immune system and is antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic. In ancient times, ginger was highly regarded as a spiritual cleanser and used before and during holy days as a way to awaken and purify the body, mind, and spirit.
Oranges are high in antioxidants and known to act as an internal antiseptic to the body and have the ability to purify and strengthen all the organs in the body.
Acne Fighting Skincare
Benefits Of Clay In Skincare:
Clays are a natural exfoliating alternative to harsh acid treatments or peels that have been used for thousands of years to treat the skin.
Clay is alive. It is rich in silica, calcium, iron and magnesium. It shimmers with electromagnetic energy, stimulates the lymph, and increases circulation and oxygenation to the surface of the skin.
Clay loosens clogged pores and draws out impurities without dissolving the protective epidermal layer! Clays absorb excess oil, refines and softens fine lines and wrinkles, while smoothing texture and fading scarring while providing deep nourishment to help support and strengthen the cells of the skin.
You can use a clay mask 1-2x a week to help gently renew the skin and are beneficial after facial massage, gua sha, steam to help further stimulate circulation.
