4 ways to use ginger to kill acne and psoriasis

Pimples and psoriasis is my daily struggle as you may notice from my blog and Insta. Even though it is hard fighting with these 2 harsh enemies there is a natural way of treating it which is a constant guest in my kitchen aka. Mr Ginger.

Ginger is well known for its unique natural anti-inflammatory and cure for nausea. I love to use it for smoothies, baking and soups because it makes anything way more interesting and a bit spicy! 

But something I didn't know is that ginger is really popular in using it in beauty products! You can find it everywhere, from shampoos to deodorants. It is used in these products for its antibacterial properties and ability to reduce inflammation. These 2 benefits are crucial for treating acne (antibacterial benefit) and psoriasis (anti-inflammatory property). So I am sharing 4 way to treat these 2 nasties in a natural way!

3 Fall-proof hair styles | SAYA hairpin

Having a healthy relationship with our Mother Earth is crucial when living in this century. You ask why? Well if you live in the big city where cars drive around, trains pass you by and planes fly all around you may forget that everything started with a seed in the ground and small creatures in the water. Living in the fast pace world we forget how important it is to keep our planet nice and healthy.

Few post back I wrote about an amazing campaign by SAYA which saves the planet with hairpins. For every pin that is bought few trees are planted. This way we are not only saving our "planet lungs" we are also making our hair free of plastic or other chemical things. Also, pining your hair back will make you want to wash your hair less, because these 3 hairstyles look so much better on oilier, 4-day hair ;)

Treat psoriasis with me: A natural way to stop the itch? | Rose water

One of the most annoying things of having psoriasis is itching. Mmm... let me correct- CONSTANTLY itching. Yeah, that sounds better. Itching for psoriasis human (i don't like how "sufferer" sounds) is a daily routine thing such as breathing. And yes yes, people tell that you should just focus on something else and the itching sensation will go away. Well, that is not that simple. For me, itching starts from somewhere deep down in my skin tissue or even deep in my bones. You can't stop it while it seems to spread all over the body. Thus it was a must for me to find something that would stop this sensation from happening. And as always- natural products work the best!

Well, that isn't that usual product found in my city and from it, you can make flax egg ;) As soon as we saw it we bought it and the first mind that popped up in my head was "Vegan banana bread".

Treat psoriasis with me: Intro + My story

So.
I have psoriasis
(Sounded so dramatic lol).

*If you don't know what it is HERE is Wikipedia's link to it ;)*

Last winter I started to get super itchy red bumps all over my arms and back that itched so bad I HAD to scratch them till it bleeds. Yeah sounds pretty creepy. I didn't really do much about that. I started to moisturise more, I thought it's only dry skin, that's normal for winter I guessed. But then those dry flaky red skin bumps decided that my forehead is a perfect place for them to settle down ;) I had only like 2 scales on my forehead but it didn't look appealing at all. Thus I decided to go to the dermatologist to find out what the hell is going on. She calmly told me that I have psoriasis. So said I will be having it for the rest of mt life and that there is NO treatment that could heal my scales immediately or forever. I was surprised because this skin disease is inherited but no one in my family has it. She also said that I won't die for this and that it's not contagious in any way or form. **good to know**
