5 Amazing Benefits of Potatoes for Your Skin and Hair

Soothes Tired Eyes

Potato slices help reduce dark circles and puffiness, making eyes look brighter and more awake. Cut two thin potato slices and place them directly on closed eyes for 10-15 minutes. You can also store them in the refrigerator before use.

Reduces Grey Hair

Instead of throwing away the potato peels, boil them and save the water. Rinse your hair with this water after shampooing. If rinsed regularly, this water will darken your hair and give it a shiny texture. 

Reduces Acne Scars

 Extract the juice from the potato and apply it all over the face. Leave it on for 15 minutes. If you do this application daily for two months, you will notice that all the scars have faded. It also has mild exfoliating properties that prevent premature ageing of the skin.

Rejuvenates Sun-damaged Skin

Potatoes contain enzymes and vitamins that help heal sunburned skin. Cut the potato into thin circles and apply directly on the affected areas. The coolness of the potato slices provides instant relief from pain and inflammation while the nutrients penetrate and heal the skin.

Nourishes Your Scalp

To use potatoes for your hair care, extract the juice from the potato and apply it directly on your scalp. Massage the juice into the scalp and hair roots for a few minutes and wash it off with a shampoo after 30-60 minutes. Regular use of potato juice helps strengthen hair follicles, reduce hair loss and improve overall hair health.
