Beetroots with their vibrant colour and distinctive taste have been in our diet and thanks to their antibacterial properties, this veggie can also be an ideal solution to your skin problems.
With a lot of beauty benefits owing to powerful vitamins and minerals, beetroots can help replenish the dead skin cells and fight against free radicals in the body.
It also aids in exfoliating the dead cells and helps in getting rid of pigmentation.
The folate, potassium, Vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants present in them makes your skin supple and brings on a natural glow.
Here are 3 ways to incorporate beetroots in your daily skincare regime.
1. Skin brightening
Beetroot helps in giving your skin a natural blush and rosy cheeks. It aids in tan removal and the abundance of Vitamin C present in them prevents skin pigmentation and gives you an even tone and your lost natural brighter complexion back. Iron, phosphorus and protein present in them improve skin health and brings a natural glow to it. All you have to do is to grate the beetroot into slices and apply them throughout your face and neck. Let it dry and wash off after 15 minutes. You can also mix orange peel powder with beetroot juice to make a thick paste that can help in skin brightening.
2. Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
Packed with antioxidants, beetroots can help you achieve ageless beauty. Lycopene and squalene present in them prevent skin from sagging and improves skin elasticity. Mix beetroot juice with honey and milk and apply them on your face twice a week or on alternate days to reap the benefits. This face mask reduces wrinkles and keeps your skin young and fresh.
3. Improves acne and pimples
Acne and pimples can be your most dreaded enemies. They make one hesitant to show their face to the public. The antiseptic and anti-microbial properties of beetroot help in controlling oil and tightening the skin pores giving you acne-free skin. Take an equal amount of beetroot juice and tomato juice and mix them well. Apply the mixture on your face, especially on targeted areas to remove blemishes, blackheads and control acne breakouts.
