Taking a ginger shots daily has become a popular trend. One notable challenge on TikTok encourages users to drink a ginger shot every day for a certain number of days (depending on the individual), claiming that it can lead to brighter, healthier skin. Not only that, but for improved gut health, weight loss, and so much more. Whether you're fighting a cold, looking for a burst of energy, or trying to improve your skin, taking a ginger shot on an empty stomach every morning is a good idea. While evidence directly linking ginger shots to brighter skin is limited, those who participated in the challenge noticed improvements in their complexion.
