POTATO-TOMATO SKIN-LIGHTENING FACE PACK

My today’s post is about a face pack, the potato-tomato face pack. The potato-tomato mask is great for removing tan and blemishes. That’s not it. More benefits will be mentioned at the end of the post. Read further to know how and why.

Ingredients for potato-tomato face pack

You need just three ingredients:

1. Potato.
2. Tomato.
3. 1 tbsp honey.

How to make potato-tomato face pack

Before saying how to make this mask, let me say one thing. I have taken half of a potato ( a small one) and a tomato, which is way too much. You can adjust ingredients according to your needs. Just remember to take equal amounts of the potato and tomato.

Start by grating the potato. And then in a blender, add the grated potato(you don’t necessarily have to grate the potato, can add it as it is) tomato and honey and blend together the three ingredients to form a smooth paste. Transfer this to a bowl and apply the face pack on your face and neck. Let the potato-tomato face pack stay on your face for 15 minutes so that the face pack shows its magic on your skin and then wash off with luke warm water. You can see your face feels soft and smooth. It also brightens your skin instantly. I recommend using the face pack immediately after making it.

Remember: Do a patch test before applying this mask.

Now that you know how you can make the potato-tomato face pack , lets find out why I have used these ingredients and what benefits they have on your skin.
