Tanning due to sun exposure is common in summer. As much as the sun shines brightly on our heads in summer, wherever we go out, it scorches our skin. Now in this season no one can save you from getting dirty if you go to the beach and have fun in the sea. But don’t worry because we all have a very simple and easy way to remove tanning at home and that is potato.

The cosmetologist said on her Instagram that potato plays a very important role in removing your tan. She explains, “Potato is one of the best home remedies for tanned skin. These contain the enzyme catecholase. It helps in lightening the skin tone. You can apply raw potato slices or potato juice on the tanned area for 10-15 minutes.

How is potato good for skin?

1 for a natural skin glow

Potatoes contain enzymes like catecholase that help lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation on the skin. Regular application of potato juice or grated potato on the affected areas will gradually improve skin tone and reduce blemishes.

2 Helps reduce inflammation

Potato has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritated or inflamed skin. Applying potato slices or juice to sunburned skin, rashes, or acne lesions can reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort.
