How Often Should You Use Raw Potatoes for an Acne Remedy?

Potatoes are a natural treatment

Potatoes are a natural treatment for acne, regardless of the severity of the breakout. Potatoes are high in vitamin C, and contain acid that fights bacteria and cleans out pores. Apply a raw potato directly to the acne or grate it up and put in a cheese cloth.

Over-exposure damages skin

Acne can flare up when it is over-treated and is touched too much. Even natural treatments can be used too often, causing the skin to become irritated. Keep the skin clean and do not allow hair to hang in the face or tight clothing to cling to the body.

Bottom Line

Use raw potatoes once daily to treat acne. Despite being a natural treatment, too much washing can cause the skin to flare up.
