There’s no denying the fact that when it comes to vegetarian food, we can’t think beyond a delicious potato dish. But did you know that your skin and hair crave them as much as your taste buds? Here are various ways in which potatoes make you beautiful…
Bet you’ve wondered how you can regain the flawless complexion you had some years ago? It’s possible! Well, potatoes have bleaching properties, which means they have the power to lighten your skin tone and give you back your natural complexion.
What to do: Blend peeled potatoes in a blender and then apply them on your face. Give yourself a massage for about 5 minutes and rinse off with water.
Hydrates your skin
If you have dry skin, you know how you’ve used several moisturisers to get rid of the itchy and dry sensation that comes with it. Your saviour is in your kitchen! Potatoes are a great moisturizer for the skin and leave it hydrated when applied. In a matter of weeks, your skin will feel smooth and supple.
What to do: Create a face mask for this one—mix grated potato with one tablespoon of curd. Apply this one your face and after leaving it for 20 minutes, wash off.
Promotes hair growth
If you’ve been losing hair too often, potatoes could be a solution. That’s because potato extracts contain nutrients that have the power to stimulate your hair follicles and help in hair growth.
What to do: Take about 2-3 potatoes, grate them and then squeeze out the juice. Massage the scalp with the juice for about 20 minutes. Rinse off with water.
Reverses ageing
Worried that your skin has started looking dull and aged? Rely on potato juice! Well, that’s because potatoes contain Vitamin A, C and B—all of which help in keeping the skin looking young and fresh.
What you should do: Grate a potato and then squeeze it so you can get the juice out.Massage the juice on your face and then wash off after 20 minutes.
