Potato Peels

A potato is a source of protein, complex carbohydrates, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B-6, niacin, and thiamine.

Skin care

Potato peels are the best remedy to whiten your skin, get rid of dark circles, reduce excessive oil, and treat acne, blackheads, and whiteheads.

Blend potato peels and apply the potato juice using a cotton ball over the affected area.
