Potato is also used to lighten scar marks by grating and extracting potato juice and mixing it with multani mitti & lemon juice and applied directly on the scar marks. 

As an anti-aging mask- 

Potato juice when mixed with a teaspoon amount of curd gives an excellent hydrating and moisture restoring mask which slows skin aging considerably and with continuous usage. This mask restores the lost moisture from the skin and makes the appearance of fine lines to progress slowly.

Cucumber juice is rich in ascorbic acid & caffeic acid while potato contains starch Catecholase which is an enzyme which helps in lightening skin tone and treating puffy eyes.

{Guest Post} Wedding Day Beauty Tips

If there is one day in your life when you want to look your best, then it is your wedding day. You never look just as beautiful and you never put so much effort to really shine like in that moment. There are lots of things to think about when you are getting ready for the big day and here are all of them, with some useful tips about them. This is a great chance to learn from the experience of other brides that have already gone through the entire getting ready phase.

Dress
This is what first comes to mind when you think about the wedding. You can rent it or you can buy it. Different people have different opinion on this. However, what is really important is that you feel really good in it. Some brides say that you simply feel that that is the right dress for you and the perfect dress for your wedding. If you have your own ideas about how it should look like, don’t hesitate to hire somebody to make it for you personally according to your design.

Accessories
There are tons of things that you need to make sure you got right. You will need a purse, and don’t you forget that. It should be small and compact so it doesn’t get in your way. Also, consider all the things that you want, like gloves, bouquets, belts, sashes and other things. It is very important that you choose carefully how much accessories you want to use because you can easily cross the line and have too much. This is especially the case with the jewelry. If you have ornaments on your dress or many details, keep the accessories to the minimum so that the whole combination stays tasteful.

Hair
Well, this greatly depends on the hairstyle that you already have. One thing is for sure and that is – don’t make drastic changes to your hairstyle right before the wedding. It never ends well and you end up being somebody completely different while you are walking down the aisle. It is not a thing to do at that moment. Also, make sure you know that the hairstyle should stay on for many hours, so make sure it is not too demanding. A nice and well-made bun is just the thing for your wedding day. Of course, it should be made by a professional. You don’t want to risk the bad hair day on your best day.

Veil
There are so many of them to choose from. The first thing to choose is the length. They go from face length, shoulder length, elbow length, chapel length to cathedral length. The first comes down to the chin while the last goes all the way down, dragging after the bride. After the length, you can also choose from a lot of shapes and sizes. Just make sure that the style matches the one from the dress. Also, you can avoid the veil altogether if you want.

Makeup
There is only two things you should do about your make up: the first one is to hire a professional to do it for you and the second one is to get at least one rehearsal before the wedding day. All those details that you use on your wedding day can easily turn elegant into ridiculous. Special kind of makeup that you don’t use every day can make that happen in a second. Therefore, tell your makeup artist what you want to wear and let them choose a style for you. Together, you will make it perfect.

Shoes
They should be amazing and they should be comfortable. Especially if you are planning on having only one pair of shoes for that day and they are high heels. If you cannot have both things, then have two pairs of shoes and change the pretty ones for the comfy ones sometimes during the course of wedding and after the ceremony.
