Can potatoes shrink pores?

Friends must be familiar with potatoes, and most of them have eaten them. Potatoes are rich in nutrients. In fact, many people don’t know that potatoes can tighten pores and whiten the skin. Potato facial mask helps to remove the stratum corneum on the face, making the excretion channels of the pores smoother, so that oil is not easily accumulated in the pores, so that the pores will not be blocked and expanded, thereby playing a role in shrinking the pores.

Cut potatoes into thin slices and tie them around the eyelids to eliminate swelling, whiten and delay skin aging, cleanse and smooth the skin, inhibit melanin and whiten the skin. The starch in potatoes is a natural soothing agent for the skin that can protect the stratum corneum, lock in moisture, keep the skin elastic and delay aging. Therefore, cutting the boiled potatoes into slices and applying them on your face can make your skin delicate and moisturized. If it can be mixed with egg yolk which promotes skin metabolism, it can make the skin clearer. Mix one spoonful of potato flour with half an egg yolk, then apply it on your face for about half an hour. Mash the cooked potatoes into a paste, mix it with milk which has the function of whitening and delicate skin, and cook together. After cooling, apply it on your face for 20-30 minutes to make your skin smoother.

For people with sensitive or dry skin, a facial mask made with oats and potatoes is an effective method. Oats have the effect of soothing sensitive and dry skin. Peel and mash the cooked potatoes, add appropriate amount of oatmeal and mix well. Apply on your face for about 20 minutes and then wash it off with warm water. For people with oily or combination skin, potato juice is a more suitable beauty care method. Mash the potatoes until juice appears, then use a cotton swab to dip the potato juice and apply it on your face. Wash it off after about 20 minutes, and you will feel that there is a lot less oil.

It should be noted that although potatoes can clean the skin and shrink pores, some people may be allergic to certain ingredients in potatoes. Such people should not use potatoes to shrink pores, otherwise it will cause itching and rashes on the skin. Also note that the effect of applying potato slices directly on the face is not as good as using potato juice, so if conditions permit at home, you can directly mash the potatoes into juice and mix it with the mask to apply on your face.
