How to Use Beetroot Gel
As a Daily Face Gel
- Take a small amount of beetroot gel in your palm.
- Apply it gently to clean skin, massaging in light circular motions.
- Use it once or twice daily to help:
- Fade dark spots
- Improve dull, tired skin
- Minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhance your natural pinkish glow
As Beetroot-Aloe Ice Cubes
You can turn this gel into refreshing skincare ice cubes:
- Add ½ cup of aloe vera water or rose water to the prepared beetroot gel and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray.
- Freeze until solid.
To use:
- Pop out one beetroot-aloe ice cube.
- Rub it gently over your face and neck.
- Let the skin absorb the serum-like liquid, then pat dry.
- This helps:
- Gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells
- Calm and shrink pimples
- Instantly boost radiance and give pink, clear skin
Using Fresh vs. Store-Bought Aloe Vera
- You can use fresh aloe vera gel directly from the leaf for an even more natural version.
- However, fresh aloe has no preservatives, so the gel will not last long.
- If you choose fresh aloe, make a small batch daily or every couple of days and store it in the fridge.
- For longer shelf life and convenience, use a store-bought, transparent aloe vera gel that already contains safe preservatives.
