Potatoes are rich in nutrients such as Vitamin C and B6, potassium and flavonoids which helps to reduce redness, itching and irritation of the skin.

The starch in potatoes helps with the absorbing of oil and dirt leaving the skin clear and refreshed.

They help improve complexion, moisturize skin with their astringent properties, and further tones and tighten skin. The anti-inflammatory properties in potatoes can also help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Due to potato being rich in Vitamin B6 and potassium it can help reduce acne. Vitamin B6 helps to maintain healthy sebum production which regulates hormones that affect acne. Potassium assists with the maintaining of healthy blood vessels and keeps skin clear and unblemished.

The presence of Vitamin C in potatoes helps the body produce collagen, which is the most important protein for skin health. In addition, they contain antioxidant that helps protect the skin from damages caused by free radicals.

Different methods to follow when using potatoes for hyper pigmentation, removal of dark spot, tightening of the skin, sun burn, exfoliation of skin, and dark circles around the eye:

Potato Juice: Slice the potato into two halves and put some drops of water on their surface. Proceed to rub the sliced potato on your pigmentation such that the juice can act on your skin. Next let it remain for 20 – 30 min. This can be done twice a week.

A potato dark-circle lightening mask: This potato-based solution is what you need to set your sights on. Make your DIY blend using two teaspoons each of potato and cucumber juice. Mix it well and apply under the eyes before going to bed at night. Wash it in the morning with fresh cold water.

In conclusion, whether you eat potatoes, juice or use them topically (use outside the body), potatoes can help improve the appearance of your skin and help nourish and revitalize the skin.
