But what if you could achieve a youthful and glowing complexion – and even banish dark spots and acne scars – without spending a fortune?

According to one 83-year-old who insists she looks 50, it is possible – and it’s all thanks to the usual kitchen essentials that are most likely already in your kitchen.

Yep, that’s right – this 83-year-old holistic beauty fanatic claimed there are several ways to keep wrinkles at bay – and in fact, the tips and tricks are so good that she even advised ‘everyone’ to try it out for themselves.

In a video shared on TikTok by @holistic pamperingthe woman claimed that she swears by… the very modest marks on her face.

The 83-year-old said applying a raw potato to her acne scars, as well as her dark spots, had helped her skin immensely.

In the clipshe noted that this should be done twice a day — and you’ll see results within days of following this natural solution.

The theory behind this The Guardian explainedis that potatoes contain vitamin C, an antioxidant that some studies show can reduce inflammation.

Spuds also contain some salicylic acid, yet another ingredient found in some drying/exfoliating spot-care purchases.

To get a brighter complexion, beauty buffs recommend simply using some potato slices and gently massaging them onto your skin.

This, the experts from St. Botanica notedwill ”soothe your skin and brighten the affected area”.

How to make a potato mask against dark spots?

Fancy a little spa day at home? You can even use potatoes to remove dead skin cells – and the recipe is super simple and only requires two ingredients.

Grate half a potato and mix it with 2-3 pinches of turmeric powder.

Once done, mix the ingredients well before applying to your face to combat dark spots.

Does it work?

Despite the claims and natural remedies taking the internet by storm, there is currently no evidence to support the claim that rubbing spuds will lighten your skin or fight acne scars. Healthline reports this.

”There are claims that a potato face mask can reduce the signs of aging, boost radiance and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

”Yet it is important to remember that most of these effects are anecdotal. This means they are based on user reviews and not clinical evidence,” they noted.

Can Eating Potatoes Improve Your Skin Health?

Potatoes are fat-free root vegetables that can be a good source of:
