“Laal laal hoton pe beetroot ka rang chadh gaya…” okay I may be ruining a classic song here 😅 but honestly, beetroot is that one kitchen thing that does more than make salads. If you’ve ever looked at your lips in the mirror and thought, “uff, why do they look so dry and dull even with balm?” — then welcome to the club.
I’ve had those days where lipsticks crack halfway through the day because the lips underneath were just… not it. That’s when I started experimenting with beetroot scrubs, and let me tell you, they’re not magic, but they’re pretty close.
Here’s the thing — lips are more delicate than your regular skin. They dry faster, peel faster, and if you’re someone who wears matte lipstick (guilty ✋), the dryness is only worse.
A gentle scrub helps to:
But harsh scrubs? Nah. They make it worse. I’ve tried sugar-only scrubs in college and ended up with sore lips. Beetroot makes it gentler, while also adding that pink tint naturally.
And yes, I’ve actually tried smearing raw beetroot juice directly — it works, but it’s messy. A scrub is more practical.
Avoid harsh things like salt or baking soda — your lips are not kitchen counters.
Pro tip: If you’re lazy (like me on weekends), just rub a fresh slice of beetroot on your lips and apply Vaseline on top. Next morning = tinted, softer lips.
So yeah, learn from my “oops” moments.
Yes, but think of it as a soft tint, not lipstick. It’s more “healthy pink” than “neon pink.”
Nope. Twice a week is enough. Overdoing it backfires.
It won’t erase pigmentation overnight, but regular use + SPF balm can improve it.
Yes. Don’t use it on your lips while sitting on a white bedsheet (been there 😬).
We spend on liquid lipsticks and glosses, but what really makes lips beautiful is their health underneath. Beetroot is cheap, desi, and it works. Simple.
And just to end on a filmi note: “Laal rang beh jaaye, lips pe reh jaaye” 😉 — that’s beetroot doing its thing.
