Recently, a little trick to remove acne has been circulating on the Internet: using potatoes to remove acne scars. But is this method really effective? Is there anything to be aware of?

What if this method not only fails to remove acne scars, but makes them worse? So today, let us understand what we need to pay attention to when using potatoes to remove acne scars, and whether it is really effective?

Potatoes have anti-aging effects. They are rich in B vitamins such as vitamin B1, B2, B6 and pantothenic acid, as well as a large amount of high-quality cellulose. They also contain nutrients such as trace elements, amino acids, protein, fat and high-quality starch. So, can potatoes remove acne scars?

Plant-based acne removal uses natural wild plants in nature to extract acne-removing essences. Sea buckthorn fruit, aloe vera, chamomile, and tea tree, which we are familiar with, all have anti-inflammatory and acne-removing effects. Therefore, it is recommended that acne patients try to use mild and non-irritating acne removal methods when removing acne to avoid damaging sensitive acne-prone skin.

Potatoes have the effect of caring for the skin and significantly maintaining your appearance. Generally, young people have strong oil secretion on their skin and are often troubled by the marks left by acne and pimples. Applying a little fresh potato juice on the affected area with cotton can solve the problem.

If you want to remove acne scars, you can also peel fresh potatoes, cut them into thin slices (as thin as possible), and then stick the potato slices on your acne scars immediately; you can also add a small amount of milk to the potatoes and cook them, then mash them into a paste, and apply them on your face after cooling for 20-25 minutes.

If you have oily skin, you can peel and mash the cooked potatoes, add a small amount of oatmeal powder, mix and apply on your face for 15-20 minutes, then wash it off with warm water. If you want to make dry skin soft and elastic, you can peel and mash the cooked potatoes, add a spoonful of yogurt, apply on your face for 10-15 minutes, then wash it off with warm water at 40℃-50℃.

When using potatoes as facial masks, you should pay attention to cutting the potatoes into slices as much as possible to prevent oxidation. This method is particularly effective when the acne scars are small and shallow. If sunken acne scars have already formed, the effect will not be very obvious.

Therefore, it takes a long time to remove acne scars. It is a gradual process that cannot be completed in one go and requires the test of time. Friends should also pay attention to these small details when removing acne, so as to avoid using the wrong method and making the acne scars worse. Although the effect of potatoes in removing acne scars is not very specific, potatoes can be used as an auxiliary treatment and will definitely improve acne scars.
