✳️ Benefits of Potato for Skin

• Natural bleaching agent: Lightens dark spots and pigmentation.

• Vitamin C-rich: Boosts collagen and promotes skin healing.

• Anti-inflammatory: Soothes irritated skin and reduces puffiness.

1. 1 small raw potato (peeled and grated)

2. 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for oily or acne-prone skin)

3. 1 teaspoon honey (for dry or sensitive skin)

4. 1 tablespoon rose water (for hydration and soothing effect)

🥣 Preparation Steps

1. Grate the potato finely using a hand grater.

2. Extract the juice by placing the grated potato in a clean muslin cloth or strainer and squeezing out the juice.

3. In a small bowl, mix:

   • 2 tablespoons of the fresh potato juice

   • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (optional – skip if you have sensitive skin)

   • 1 teaspoon of honey (optional – highly recommended for dry skin)

   • 1 tablespoon of rose water

4. Stir well to form a smooth liquid mixture.

🧖🏽‍♀️ How to Use

1. Cleanse your face with a gentle face wash and pat dry.

2. Use a cotton ball or clean fingers to apply the potato mask evenly to the face.

3. Focus on areas with dark spots, acne scars, or pigmentation.

4. Leave it on for 15–20 minutes, or until it dries naturally.

5. Rinse off with cool or lukewarm water.

6. Moisturize your skin with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer.

📆 How Often to Apply

• 3 to 4 times a week for best results.

• Visible improvement can usually be seen within 2–4 weeks with consistent use.

⚠️ Tips & Precautions

• Do a patch test before full application, especially if using lemon juice.

• Store potato juice mask in the fridge for up to 24 hours only (fresh is best).

• Avoid sun exposure immediately after use due to lemon sensitivity—apply at night if using lemon.
