Although the skin of hands, feet and face becomes dry during the winter season, most of the people face the problem of cracked lips. Actually, there are no oil glands (which do not produce natural oil) in the skin of the lips. Apart from this, the skin of the lips is also very delicate. In some people, the skin on the lips starts peeling and even wounds form. Beetroot is also very beneficial for the skin and many skin care products made from it are available in the market which are sold at expensive prices. You can make two such products from beetroot at home which will keep the lips soft and pink even in winter.
To get soft pink lips in the winter season, you can make scrub and lip balm from beetroot. The scrub removes your dead skin and the lip balm will work to heal the skin. To make these two things along with beetroot, you will need some more natural ingredients, which also reduces the problem of pigmented lips.
