Potato
Unknown to many, potato is one of the potentially beneficial home remedies for acne scars. The versatility of this vegetable indeed extends beyond the kitchen.
Potatoes have several nutrients that help heal skin lesions and breakouts fast. They contain the brightening enzyme known as catecholase, which can lighten dark spots and skin blemishes. They are also rich in vitamin C, which helps heal sun damage, erase age lines and wrinkles, remove dead skin cells, and add a healthy glow to the skin. Vitamin C is a known skin vitamin that keeps the skin supple while helping mild scarring fade away.
There are several ways to incorporate potatoes in at-home beauty regimens. The first is as a face mask. Grate potatoes and mix them with lemon juice and gram flour. The second is an exfoliating facial scrub, combining grated potato with milk and oatmeal. And lastly, as a topical solution against acne scars. Leaving a potato slice on the affected site or mixing potato juice with honey and blotting the mixture on the spot are the most effective means.
