Everyone wants clean and glowing skin, but frequent bleaching in the parlor can be heavy on both the pocket and the skin.

It is cheap and safe too. When used properly, potato can give a light and fresh look to the skin.

This is the reason why potato is used as natural bleach in many home remedies. Regular use can reduce facial dullness. Potatoes are generally considered safe even on sensitive skin.
To prepare natural bleach, take a raw potato, peel it and grate it. Now extract its juice. Apply this juice on the face and neck with the help of cotton. Leave it for 15 to 20 minutes. After this wash the face with plain water. By doing this two to three times a week, the difference gradually starts appearing.

If you want better results then you can add a little lemon juice to potato juice. Lemon also contains Vitamin C, which helps in brightening the skin. But keep in mind that the quantity of lemon should not be too much, otherwise it may cause burning sensation. Do not keep this mixture for more than ten minutes. After that wash your face and apply moisturizer.
A mixture of potato and curd can also be effective in removing tanning. Prepare a paste by mixing one spoon potato juice and one spoon curd. Apply it on face and hands. Wash after about 15 minutes. Curd gives moisture to the skin and potato helps in improving the complexion. This pack can prove especially beneficial in summer.
Potato is also considered beneficial for dark circles. Cut thin slices of potato and keep them on the eyes for 10 minutes. This reduces swelling and darkness around the eyes. If you want, you can also use a cotton pad soaked in potato juice. With regular use the under eye area looks fresh and lighter.
Instead of expensive parlor treatments, you can get natural glow from potatoes present in the kitchen. This is an easy, cheap and chemical free method. With a little regularity and proper care, your skin will be clean, fresh and glowing.
