Use Potato For Acne, Acne Scars, Blackheads And Whiteheads

According to “Alternative Cures: More than 1,000 of the Most Effective Natural Home Remedies”,
potatoes can be used for treating skin acne and acne scars. Raw potatoes help with many skin problems.
They not only clear the facial skin by cleansing the excess oil, but also help control and prevent acne,
pimples, blackheads and whiteheads.
Why Potatoes Clear Skin Acne?

Potatoes are chockfull of vitamin C, which is known for its abilities to boost collagen production and
helps prevent and heal damage from the sun, stress and environment. They are also rich in vitamin B,
which is good for healthy DNA production, skin cell regeneration and it actually penetrates the epidermis
rather than sitting on top. Moreover, potatoes provide niacin that can lighten hyper-pigmentation from
acne or other skin conditions.

All-in-all – raw potato not only works as a skin acne remedy, but also helps remove hyper-pigmentation,
brighten the skin and prevent wrinkles.
