Cucumber-Potato Face Pack

Hello smiley faces. I hope you all are doing great. Today I am going to share with you an easy face-body mask. It is made with cucumber and potato both of which have mild bleaching properties. Both of them help to reduce tan, dark spots and also help to lighten the skin. I am also going to show you a simple eye mask made with the remnant from the pack. This eye pack will help to reduce the under eye circles. So without further ado, let’s get started. Here’s what you will need.

Ingredients:      

1. ¼ cup finely grated cucumber

2. ¼ cup finely grated potato

3. 2 tbsp besan

4. 1 tsp lemon juice

5. ¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi)

6. Rosewater (if needed)

7. Clean tissue paper for eye mask

Procedure:

1. Take a large bowl and place a strainer on the top as shown.

2. Now put the grated cucumber and potato into the strainer.

3. Add lemon juice to it and with the help of a spoon squeeze the mixture in the strainer. The juice should start coming out. For most of the time I use my hands to get the juice out of the mixture. If you do so make sure your hands are clean :D

4. Keep on doing this until all the juice comes out of the cucumber-potato mixture.

5. In a bowl add besan and turmeric.

6. Add the potato-cucumber juice to this mixture and mix everything really well.

7. Check the consistency of the mixture. If the mixture is too thick, add some rosewater. I added around 1 tsp rosewater. The amount of rosewater will depend on the amount of potato-cucumber juice. Make sure that the pack isn’t too thick or too runny.

8. Now your pack is ready to use. Apply this pack on your face, neck, hands and feet. Leave it until it dries completely. Then take it off using lukewarm water.

9. For eye mask:

You will need the pulp that remains after squeezing out the juice from the potato and cucumber.

a) Divide the pulp into two parts.

b) Put the pulp into a clean tissue paper and wrap it up as shown. Make two such wraps.

c) Put this into the freezer for about an hour.

d) Put this on your eye for 5-7 minutes and then wash your eyes with cold water.

Use this pack once or twice a week for better results. This pack is a mild pack that will remove the tan and dark spots. But just like any other natural remedy, it works slowly. But if you apply this pack regularly, you will see a noticeable difference in your skin. I usually use this pack on weekends as a pamper mask for my face and body. So friends, if you try this pack, let me know how it works for you.
