The article contains step-by-step instructions on how to make this tomato and potato facial for dark spots and pigmentation!

What Causes Pigmentation And Dark Spots?

The skin’s natural pigments, called melanin, are produced by cells in the epidermis.

When these cells produce too much pigment for the skin to handle, they can be deposited in the form of dark patches on different areas of your body.

If you have a sunburn or other type of injury that causes this excess production and deposition of melanin, you may experience hyperpigmentation (dark spots).

Hyperpigmentation is also caused by acne scars or age spots due to sun exposure over time.

How Does This Facial Help?

Potato and tomato are the two main ingredients of this facial.

Potatoes contain an enzyme called tyrosinase, which is what breaks down the melanin that causes dark spots.

Potato is a nutrient-rich vegetable that helps to fight dark spots and pigmentation. It’s high in vitamin C, which promotes skin cell turnover and collagen production.

The antioxidant properties of the potato help to protect your skin from free radical damage.

Potatoes are also rich in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure.

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which is a natural antioxidant that helps fight free radicals. Lycopene has been shown to help reduce the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation on the skin.
