Hi beauties!!
As soon as I started to write this post, my tummy has started yearning for potatoes; especially for deep fries :):) Pregnancy sure brings weird carvings!!! :) So today, my post is gonna be about potatoes. Potatoes were used as a natural ailment curing ingredient right from the ancient civilization. I am gonna list out some of the useful tips where you can use potato as an anti-tan, underarms lightener and as a scrub. So lets get started :)
1. Scrub:
Take a big sized potato and juice it out. Mix two to three spoons of Fuller's Earth or Besan gram flour to it and apply it on your hands and face .Wash it off with luke warm water after 15 minutes. You can also use it directly. But if you intend to use it directly, you will be needing more potatoes as the juice does not stick to your skin. This can be used as a scrub and also as an anti-tanning face pack. If you want to use this as a scrub, then gently scrub your face and hands in clockwise and anticlockwise motions with a cotton ball dipped in milk. Those having oily skin can dip the cotton ball in water or can just use your palms for scrubbing purpose. See to that you scrub your face and hands gently as besan gram flour or fuller's earth tend to make your skin rough and reddish due to excessive scrubbing.
2. Removing dark circles:
I have noticed many teenagers and young people suffering from dark circles. Guys suffer more than girls with this problem. Dark circles can be seen under your eyes which result due to improper sleep cycle. I acknowledge the fact that almost each and every one of us are deprived of sleep due to our career and life concerns. But it is also equally important to take care of our health. Anyways, to get rid of dark circles, cut two thin slices of potato and place them on your eyes when you sleep. This works more effectively during the night times. Potato releases a natural chemical which heals dark circles. Follow this regularly for two weeks and you will notice considerable results.
3. Elbow lightener:
Mix a few drops of lemon juice to one cup of potato juice. Dip a cotton ball in it and gently massage it on elbows, knees and under arms. This will lighten the darkness on your elbows, knees and underarms. If your elbows and knees are very dark in color, then use this twice or thrice a day to get effective results. Wash it off after 15 to 20 min. Apply glycerine on your elbows and knees once you wash off this mixture. This will keep your elbows and knees smooth and shiny.
So that's it for today my dears. Have fun. Keep reading my posts and do share them. Also leave your suggestions and comments so that I too can get to learn something new or useful :) Meet you in next post. Until then, take care :)
