Before piling on loads of under eye concealer you may want to reach for the nearest spud. Did you know that potatoes contain high levels of an enzyme called catecholase, which is one of the most common skin lighteneing ingredients in luxury brand eye creams? It helps naturally protect everyone's favorite tuber from damage but has also been a secret weapon of wise women for generations. Why pay $$ for the same thing you can get for ¢ ?
To make a homemade under eye circle lightener:
- Use a box grater or food processor to finely shred 1 small potato.
- Wrap the potato pulp in cheesecloth or a breathable piece of clean fabric.
- Apply to undereye area, being careful not to get juice in your eyes. Leave on for around 15 minutes while watching TV or relaxing.
While the above method is more effective, a quicker fix is to slice the potato and apply to the eyes as you would cucumber slices.
