Potatoes for your complexion

Sweet potatoes were always considered a remedy for health problems since they're a significant source of vitamin A, beta-carotene, antioxidants that are nourishing for your skin. 

Potato-based facial topical treatments are great to soften skin - provides better holding force of moisture, soothes sunburns and leaves skin clean and healthy.

Its anti-aging effect was already demonstrated. The potato is Nature's version of the face lift, but it can also smooth out wrinkles. 

Massage your face with a slice of raw potato as often as possible if you would like to lighten the color of your skin. Do not wash the slice before massaging the face as it will lose its natural properties. When potatoes are peeled, you can puree those and mix with a little oats, and bind with course sugar to use as a scrub. Add a pinch of turmeric, which is also a natural bleaching agent and antibiotic too.

Potato for dark circles:

Dark circles around the eyes can be reduced by applying raw potato juice.

Potato as skin toner:  It is also an excellent toner. Apply potato juice on the skin, leave it  and wash it off after it dries.

Potato cleansing mask: Mix potato juice, lemon juice, oatmeal and fuller's earth and apply it on the face. It is an excellent cleansing mask. It also tightens the skin and reduces pores.
