Beetroot is considered a popular natural option for coloring cheeks and lips due to its strong natural pigments that provide easy-to-control pink to warm red color when used. Preparing beetroot as a dye is often done by squeezing a small piece of fresh beet and applying the juice directly to the skin or mixing it with natural oils such as coconut oil or almond oil to soften the color intensity and protect the skin from dryness.
Benefits of Using Beetroot
Beetroot contains antioxidants and vitamins such as Vitamin C and B6 that may help moisturize and protect the skin, while also providing a natural and healthy-looking color that can be controlled in intensity by the amount of juice applied and the duration it is allowed to stay on the skin.
However, it is advised to test a small amount on a slight area of the skin first to ensure there is no allergic reaction or irritation. Also, the color should be removed after a reasonable duration to prevent any permanent stains on clothes or sensitive skin. It is preferred to use it as a temporary option for beautifying cheeks and lips instead of using chemical products that may contain preservatives or artificial dyes.
