Betel nut is an essential offering in Vietnamese culture. So now, during the tradition of eating betel nuts on May 1st, people still buy betel nuts for offering but now they let them dry and dispose of them after offering. In fact, even if you are not someone who eats betel nuts, you can still use them in this way to effectively enhance your beauty and “ask for luck” from the ancestors.
Betel leaves extract is a valuable ingredient widely used in modern cosmetic technology. It is because betel leaves have anti-inflammatory properties and are good for whitening the skin, nourishing the skin, and treating acne.
According to folklore, betel nuts are also a good medicine that helps clean intestinal parasites, prevents bad breath, and treats various oral problems such as indigestion, frequent urination, and mouth ulcers. Therefore, betel nuts are considered a medicine, especially betel seeds.
Use it for beauty in this way:
Use betel leaves to exfoliate the skin
Similar to the use of basil leaves, betel leaves can be boiled and then used as a face wash or bath. Crush the betel leaves and gently rub them on the face to remove dead skin cells. This method is safe, antibacterial for the skin, and helps brighten the skin. Especially for people with cracked or rough feet, soaking and exfoliating the skin with betel leaves is very effective. If you feel a slight tenderness on the skin, it’s okay, just be careful not to scratch the skin.
Betel leaf mask for acne treatment
Betel leaves are particularly useful for acne-prone skin. Wash the betel leaves thoroughly and grind them into a paste, then apply it to the face, especially on areas with many pimples. Betel leaves help fight inflammation and effectively cleanse acne. Leave it on for about 20 minutes, then rinse with clean water. You can also use betel leaf water to wash your face, especially for sensitive skin with rashes, as it is a natural antiseptic.
Boil betel leaves for bathing, shampooing, and face cleansing
In natural shampoo and body wash products, betel leaves are often included because they have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties. Therefore, you can boil betel leaves to make bathing water and face wash to help treat acne and brighten the skin. Betel leaf shampoo is also very good for hair and scalp, especially for people with itching or hair loss. Boiling betel leaves with lemongrass, grapefruit peel, lime leaves, etc. will help you have a very good bathing water that promotes relaxation, and using it as a hair wash will help treat hair loss and breakage.
You can use betel leaves to wash your genital area, but not every day, only 1-2 times a week. Betel leaves for face wash can be used 2-3 times a week. However, you should always make sure the betel leaves are clean and rinse them thoroughly before use.
