BEETROOT JUICE. Contains a significant amount of Vitamin C so is very effective in
reducing pigmentation, skin discoloration and blemishes. You would need to drink two
glasses on a daily basis for a fairly long period to see visible results in above named
categories, but in the meantime your skin will look more radiant since beetroot hydrates
skin really well.
If you don’t have time to make your own juices, buy ready prepared cartons. For extra
health/taste benefits, I add a good squeeze of lemon juice and a teaspoon of fresh grated
ginger to mine.
TOMATOES The juice of tomatoes contains a high percentage of nutrients that are
beneficial for the skin. These include vitamin A, vitamin C, lycopene and proteins.
Lycopene is basically a carotenoid, which counteracts the action of free radicals in the
body. To combat excess production of oils by the sebaceous gland (often responsible for
outbreaks of pimples), cut a ripe tomato into two halves and rub the pulpy side over the
face. Leave juice on for 15 minutes then rinse off thoroughly with cold water. Repeat this
twice a day to improve skin condition.
Tomatoes can also help to reduce itching, redness and irritation symptoms since this
slightly acidic juice regulates the skin PH level. A super homemade mask to alleviate
above skin conditions is to mix a tablespoon of tomato juice in three tablespoons of plain
yoghurt. Place in freezer for half an hour so that it hardens slightly then apply to skin for
around 15 minutes before rinsing off with cold water.
