Our skin is subjected to a lot through the day. Pollution, stress, makeup, food, lifestyle – everything has a hand in making our skin dull, lifeless, full of dark spots and blemishes. While there may not be an apparent pimple or acne, but your face is riddled with dark stains that refuse to fade away. To get glowing complexion and spot-free skin, you try out creams and gels on the market. But they fail to yield good results. Your skin still looks patchy and full of stains.
To get spot-free skin, you need to stop wasting money on expensive facials and beauty creams, instead raid your kitchen for some basic ingredients and put together a face mask that will cure all your skincare problems in just a few weeks. Your skin will be more supple, elastic, and spotless after doing this. Since the recipe uses all natural ingredients there won’t be any side-effect on your skin.

Why Lemon Juice:
Rich in Vitamin B, C and phosphorous, lemon juice is a natural bleach and cleanser. It lightens the skin tone and removes all the impurities from the skin.
Why Cucumber:
The pulp of cucumber is rich in caffeic acid and Vitamin C which makes it a good agent to remove impurities from the skin, soothe swellings and skin irritation. It also cuts skin’s water retention, one of the reasons it is applied on puffy eyes and burns.
Why Potato:
Again rich in Vitamin C, potato is a natural skincare agent. The starch of the potato helps to even out skin tone, make it supple and remove pigmentation marks and dark stains.
