Eggplant is well recognized as a low-cal, nutritious vegetable but you may be surprised to know that eggplant carries at least four beauty benefits too. Whether eaten or used externally on your body, eggplant is a universal application for beauty and well as health.

Some food historians say the eggplant originated in India and others say it was first cultivated in China. Based on fifth-century scrolls in China.

Ladies in the higher echelons of society used the dark purple dye from eggplant skins to brush their teeth until they were shiny gray. Other stories abound, but here are at least four eggplant-based beauty recipes that have stood the test of time.

① See Freckles or Brown Spots Fade

Brown spots, also known as freckles, are caused by uneven distribution of melanin in the skin. Freckles are often found on the face and shoulders but can be anywhere on the body.

The eggplant will not make freckles go away, but by applying eggplant to your skin, you will see your freckles fade or lighten naturally. You should look for results to show up in about 10 days, if you do the following:

  • Step 1
    Slice one eggplant into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Choose a fresh eggplant that is moist and not dried out.
  • Step 2
    Rub the eggplant slices in a circular motion on your freckles for three to five minutes. Eggplant is rich in phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals, all of which will benefit your skin.
  • Step 3
    Leave the eggplant juice on your skin for at least 15 minutes before washing it off with warm water. You should start to see results in as little as one week. Regular use will continue to lighten your freckles.



② Say Goodbye to Warts

Applying fresh eggplants to warts is an old home remedy that takes two ingredients: a thin piece of fresh eggplant big enough to cover the size of the wart and a bandage.

  • Step 1
    Each night before you go to bed, take the piece of eggplant, cover the wart, and secure the eggplant covering with a bandage.
    • Step 2
      Eventually, you may see that the wart peels off quite easily. If you apply the piece of eggplant over the wart every night, taking care to use a fresh piece of eggplant each time, expect to see results within two weeks.



    ③ Regulate and Pamper Skin

    Eggplant masks are helpful especially to women with oily skin conditions. Make sure that you try this when you are not in too much of a hurry because, like most mask treatments, it is only effective if you leave it on your skin for about 20 minutes. Here is what you do:

    • Step 1
      Blend a large slice of eggplant (roughly, one-quarter of a small-sized eggplant) with its skin still on plus 2 tbsp of plain, unflavored yogurt in a blender.
      • Step 2
        Spread it over your face. After 20 minutes, rinse with warm water.

      Eggplant is also used to lighten age-spots, whether your skin is oily, average, or dry. Apply mashed eggplant pulp on your face and rinse with warm not hot, water. Do this daily until you see some results.



      ④ Gently Treat Your Hair

      Enzymes in the eggplant may help to stimulate hair follicles to more vibrant health. Eggplant may also contribute to improving hair that has greasy buildup. Apply a chunk of fresh eggplant to your scalp and rub gently.
