For making a beetroot face pack, start by washing and peeling the beetroot. Then, grate it and blend the grated pieces into a smooth paste using a blender. You can indeed combine this beetroot paste with yogurt or honey, both of which are great for adding moisture to dry skin. The ratio can be 2 parts beetroot paste to 1 part yogurt or honey — adjust as needed based on your skin type and preferences.
When applying the face pack, carefully spread a thin, even layer over your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave it on for about 15–20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water; pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Concerns about staining are valid. Beetroot’s vibrant color can stain; just be sure to rinse thoroughly and don’t leave it on for longer than recommended. Doing a patch test on a small area of skin before applying it to your entire face is always a good idea, especially if you’re worried about allergies or sensitivities. Apply the mix to a small patch of skin, behind your ear for instance, and wait for 24 hours to see if any irritation occurs.
Regular use, about once a week, can help enhance skin brightness without overstimulating your skin’s natural functions. And remember, hydrating from the inside also complements your efforts. Drinking adequate water and maintaining a balanced diet can benefit overall skin health.
If dryness persists despite these efforts, it may be worth exploring other factors like diet, lifestyle, or potential underlying health issues that might be affecting your skin.
