A DIY Lip Plumper – You Can’t ‘Beet’

Greg and Audra try a DIY lip treatment made from beet powder!

To celebrate National Lipstick Day, Audra brings in a recipe that will make your lips so fabulous you can skip the lipstick.  It’s all natural and made from a veggie your mom probably made you eat!

Beet are good for our cardiovascular and blood health. They have nitrates that convert into nitric oxide, a molecule that dilates blood vessels. This makes it a perfect ingredient for a lip plumper.  And it will also give you the natural color of a perfect pout!

Heat 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave for 30 seconds.  Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of beet root powder.  Stir to dissolve.  Pour into a container and let it sit for a couple of hours.   Apply and leave on for 5-10 minutes.  Leave on longer for a darker tint.

Use the remainder of the powder and in your next smoothie for a heart healthy treat!
