How Does Beetroot Juice Whiten Face?
Beetroot juice is a good source of vitamin C which inhibits the production of melanin (the pigment responsible for skin discoloration). Vitamin C is also an antioxidant which neutralizes free radicals that causes skin cell damage and hyperpigmentation.
Another antioxidant found in beetroot that contributes to skin whitening is called Betalain. This antioxidant is very effective in getting rid of free radicals. Remember, free radicals causes dullness, premature aging, pigmentation, and skin cell damage.
To get results from applying beetroot juice, you will need to be consistent. It is recommended to use to remedy daily for up to a month to start seeing results. Since beetroot juice is also very healthy, go ahead and have a glass daily while you’re at it as well.
