I remember as a teenager, I have seen my siblings using multiple homemade remedies for their skin, and ironically, beetroot is not one among them. Personally, I haven't used beetroot for skin or hair health, but I have been taught that beetroot juice is very good for health. Skin and hair health are, of course, part of that.
Beetroot, just like many other fruits and vegetables, is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and it is the presence of these elements in beetroot that makes it healthy for skin and hair. The presence of antioxidants like vitamin C in beetroot makes it beneficial for skin because it is known to fight against harmful chemicals that can damage the skin's texture. We know that beetroots contain a high content of water, which makes the skin moist and appear brighter. Beetroot is also known to have detoxifying properties, which means that it neutralizes some substances that are otherwise toxic to the body, and thus, its elimination promotes overall health, including skin health.
When we talk about hair health, the two most important problems that impact our hair are hair fall and dandruff. It is said that beetroot contains iron and folic acid, which are important in nourishing the hair and thus prevent hair fall. Moreover, beetroot also maintains the turgidity of the skin, which prevents dandruff. The presence of pigments in beetroot has been said to maintain the natural color of the hair.
While I was preparing for this task, I got to know a very important homemade remedy based on beetroot which goes by the name of a face mask or face pack.
We are all familiar with the beneficial effects of honey and yogurt on the skin, and these ingredients have been traditionally used in our society for skin health. For the basic beetroot remedy, we add one small beetroot to one teaspoon of honey and yogurt. I would also suggest adding one teaspoon of turmeric powder because turmeric powder has proved beneficial effects for skin. Addition of half slice of lemon would do wonders.
Steps of Beetroot face mask:
First, we will clean, peel, and grate 1 beetroot.
Next, make a paste of beetroot juice, honey, and yogurt.
Apply a thin layer of it over the face and neck.
Keep it for 20 minutes.
Rinse with lukewarm water.
Apply moisturizer.
Repeat after three days.
