Dr. Deepali Bhardwaj’s expert advice
Skin and hair expert Dr. Deepali Bhardwaj recommends using potato juice under the eyes for its skin-tightening effects, which can reduce premature aging and wrinkles.
“The skin under our eyes is thin and prone to wrinkles, making potato juice a suitable rescue,”
Dr. Bhardwaj says.
Soak some cotton balls in the raw juice and place them under your eyes, or rub potato peels to help reduce puffiness, brighten, and tighten the skin.
