2 small beets, raw, peeled
4 drops fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon unrefined virgin coconut oil
Beets are superfoods packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and anyone who’s ever had any mishaps with them in the kitchen knows they can stain your skin for days at a time. Why not put that staining power to good use and use that beautiful beet-red hue as a lip stain?
For this recipe you’ll want to wear gloves and lay down butcher paper to protect your hands and surfaces. Wash and cut beets and send them through a juicer into a small glass bowl. Add lemon juice and oil, and stir thoroughly. Transfer stain into a very small container using a dropper or a small funnel. Apply with a lip brush, or, even better, package your stain in a small rollerball container!
