Ginger also has antiseptic properties that fight the flakes. The easiest fix? Grate some ginger and add it to your shampoo until those flakes are gone. For more stubborn cases, mix it with jojoba oil and rub all over the scalp. Wear a plastic cap and leave on while you sleep.

To Reduce Dark Spots
Ginger can reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. It's as easy as rubbing a fresh piece of ginger on the spot two to three times per day until you see it start to fade.

To Cleanse
For a very effective anti-acne wash, mix one part ginger, two parts olive oil and three parts sugar. You can also use diluted ginger juice as a toner, just spray and go. Ginger juice even works as a spot treatment for pimples: just dab juice onto the spots.
