Most of us are guilty of shelling out loads of money in buying expensive beauty products. We used these products for getting rid of zits, removing acne scars, or preventing dandruff and hair fall. But an actual remedy for these problems is right there in your pantry- beetroots. It is a powerhouse of nutrients- proteins, fibres, potassium, magnesium, and iron among others. Beetroot increases the nutritional value and purifies the blood, replenishes dead skin cells, helps get rid of dark spots, and reduces blood sugar levels to name a few.
Actress Juhi Parmar posted a DIY video on Instagram suggesting ways in which this wonderful vegetable can be used. For rosy lips and blushed cheeks, she used one slice of grated beetroot, 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel and a Vitamin E capsule to make a lip and cheek tint. She strained the grated vegetable to get the juice out and added the other ingredients.
For nourishing and healthy hair, she made a hair tonic by boiling beetroot in water and using it to spray on the scalp and hair. Wash it off after an hour.
