Here are some benefits of red lentils for skin, shared by dermatologist Dr. DM Mahajan.
- Remove dead cells
Red lentils help remove dead skin cells and promote cell regeneration for smooth, glowing skin.
- Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory
Red lentils contain antioxidants, which help fight free radicals and prevent premature aging. They also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
- Removes tan
Red lentils can effectively remove sun tan from the skin, by exfoliating dead cells and pigments, gradually lightening the tanned skin.
- Prevent acne
Using a red lentil face mask can help fight acne, blackheads and whiteheads.
- Brings smooth, bright skin
Red lentils are high in fiber, which helps detoxify and promote clear skin. They also help fade scars and acne marks.
