You're probably accustomed to
having your potatoes mashed, baked or fried, but putting them on your face is a
completely different story. Potatoes have an uncanny ability to stay cold for
long periods; they also transfer antioxidants, such as vitamin C, and other
nutrients to your skin. These qualities make potatoes as good as cucumbers when
it comes to reducing dark circles under the eyes. Potatoes contain enzymes,
vitamin C and starch that nourish the thin skin around the eyes. The coldness
of the potato also helps to reduce swelling and inflammation of the vessels
underneath the eye to minimize a dark, tired appearance.
How
to use potatoes for Dark circles under eyes
Take a raw potato and slice it
into thin pieces. Place 1-1 slices under both the eyes and relax yourself for
30 minutes. Apply this remedy twice every day. If there is puffiness along with
the dark circles then apply a mixture of potato juice with same quantity of
cucumber juice to reduce it. Also, you can simply apply raw potato for reducing
dark circles by refrigerating a potato before cutting it into thin pieces.
Place it over the affected area for 15-20 minutes. Repeat this process 2-3
times a day. Furthermore, you can also blend the raw potato until it
becomes a thick puree. Apply this potato puree on the dark circles under your
eyes and leave it for 25-30 minutes. Then, wash it off with fresh water. For
better result, practice this homemade remedy two times daily.
