It also contains anti-inflammatory properties that reduce irritated skin like acne when applied as it should be applied.

When applied on your face as a masks helps to brighten your face and reduce hyperpigmentation because of the vitamin c content in it but people with sensitive skin or allergic to potato on the face can cause irritation like itching and redness.
