Fairness with beetroot / Beetroot for skin glowing

It is hard to keep our skin fair and glowing because of the pollution, and the stressful lifestyle that we lead these days. While cosmetics are a quick chemical solution to our problems, too much exposure to these chemicals eventually does more harm than good. Therefore, we should look for natural, organic and harmless skin care options. Beetroot is one such option. It is a super food full of nutrition, anti-inflammatory components, and rich in antioxidants.

Beauty tips for fair skin

Beetroot has a number of cosmetic uses, but it is also quite healthy for your skin and hair when incorporated into the diet. It is rich in Vitamin A, calcium, Vitamin C, iron and minerals. Drinking beetroot juice everyday other than lowering blood pressure, curing arthritis, combating anemia, etc. also cures acne and pimples, and prevents the skin from breaking out. It also flushes the toxins out of the body, and purifies blood, which makes your skin glow, and keeps it supple. If you don’t like the taste of beetroot you can mix it with a bit of apple juice or carrot juice to change its taste.

Beetroot and Yogurt

Beetroot is also very effective when it comes to getting rid of scars caused by acne or pimples. It is a rich source of Vitamin C which reduces pigmentation, helps evening skin tone, and also gets rid of acne. Mix two parts beetroot juice with one-part yogurt, and apply it over your face as a mark. Let it dry, and then rinse with warm water while massaging the skin. This will not only help in getting rid of acne or pimples which are already there, it will also reduce the scars considerably, and even the skin tone.

Prevent wrinkles and repair your skin with Beet juice

Even beetroot juice can help with aging and wrinkles. Peel and chop the beetroots, and blend them fine. Strain the mixture to separate the pulp from the juice. Dip a cotton ball into the juice, dab it all over the acne affected areas. Rinse with warm water, and a gentle face wash after 10 minutes. Beetroot is rich in antioxidants, which get rid of all the free radicals which damage our cells and cause wrinkles and fine lines.

Beetroot, when it comes to skin whitening, works so much better than the fairness creams available in the market. These creams contain a lot of chemicals which may damage your skin.

Rinse after 15 minutes. This toner will lighten your skin tone considerably if used regularly.

Beetroot and Clay mask

Another way to use beetroot would be to mix beetroot juice with your clay mask. Along with the benefits of the clay mask, you will also get the added benefit of anti-oxidizing and anti-inflammatory properties of the beetroot juice. This mask will not only get rid of all the acne or pimples which are already present, it will also reduce the blemishes, and will cause them to disappear eventually.

Beetroot juice for dark circles

Dip a cotton ball into the beetroot juice, and apply it under your eyes. Rinse after 15 minutes. The anti-inflammatory properties of the beetroot juice will get rid of puffy eyes, while the vitamin c along with the antioxidants will lighten the dark circles.

Beetroot, Milk and Honey

Beetroot can also help in moisturizing the skin. While milk and honey work wonders on skin during the cold, dry winter months, adding a dash of beetroot juice to the mix amplifies its moisturizing properties.

Beetroot juice for pink lips

While pink lipstick is wonderful, naturally pink luscious lips are even better. Dab a bit of beetroot juice over your lips with a cotton ball every night before going to bed. The beetroot juice will reduce pigmentation, and bring out the natural pinkness of your lips.

Beetroot and Carrot juice

A mixture of carrot juice and beetroot juice can make your cheeks more beautiful and pink than the blushful Hippocrene.
