Hyperpigmentation Help

1

Peel and roughly dice a raw (preferably organic) potato and place it into a food processor. Pulse to shred, being careful not to turn the potato into a paste. Alternatively, if you don't have a food processor, you can grate the potato with a box grater.
2

Wash face as usual with a gentle facial cleanser and lightly pat the face dry.
3

Take the shredded potato and place it into the cheesecloth. Gather up the cheesecloth and lightly squeeze to release the potato juices. Carefully rub the potato-saturated cheesecloth all over the face, focusing on areas that need lightening.
4

Let the potato juices sit on the face, taking care to get none in your eyes, for 10 to 15 minutes before wiping off the starchy reside. Continue with your normal skincare routine.
5

To make a skin-lightening raw potato mask, mash or process raw potato into a paste. Apply potato paste to the face and neck. Leave mixture on the face for 25 minutes before washing off. Moisturize skin as normal.
