You can try an easy anti-darkening scrub by combining rock salt with equal quantities of lemon juice and potato juice. Mix well and gently rub on the affected area,” shared Dr. Ashutosh Gautam, Clinical Operations and Coordination Manager at Baidyanath.
Potato juice can be mixed with dahi (curd) or honey and used for matured skin. It will help tighten the skin and render a clearer, brighter glow. For younger skin, the juice can be teamed with lemon juice and applied on the face, especially under the eye. Let it dry, then wash off and moisturize well.
Potato juice can easily be combined with a range of skin-benefitting ingredients like cucumber juice, fuller’s earth (Multani mitti), besan, aloe vera and even olive oil. Get in touch with a certified dermatologist or a skin specialist to get to know your skin type better and to explore feasible combinations that will suit your skin.
