Ginger: an anti-aging ally for skin
Skin aging is mainly caused by two factors: oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Ginger targets both.
How ginger protects the skin
- Powerful antioxidant — Gingerols neutralize free radicals that degrade collagen and elastin.
- Anti-inflammatory — Chronic inflammation ("inflammaging") accelerates aging. Ginger inhibits NF-κB.
- Blood circulation — Ginger improves microcirculation, bringing more nutrients and oxygen to skin cells.
- Indirect UV protection — Ginger compounds reduce oxidative damage caused by UV.
Turmeric doubles the effect
Curcumin is one of the most studied natural anti-aging active ingredients. It inhibits MMP (matrix metalloproteinase), the enzyme that degrades collagen. Ginger + turmeric = internal and external protection.
Sugar ages the skin
Glycation (sugar + proteins = AGEs) is a major factor in skin aging. AGEs stiffen collagen and create wrinkles. Drinking an anti-aging ginger shot with 34g of sugar accelerates aging instead of slowing it down.
INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero added sugar. Beauty from within, without glycation.
