Prepare the Potato Paste
Thoroughly wash the potato to remove dirt.
Peel and chop the potato into small pieces.
Blend the potato cubes in a blender or food processor with a little water until smooth.
Strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the juice from the pulp, collecting the juice in a bowl.
Combine Ingredients:
Mix the aloe vera gel into the potato juice.
Add a few drops of essential oil if desired and stir well.
Store the Gel:
Transfer the potato gel into a clean, airtight container.
Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Alternative Tip:
You can use potato powder instead of fresh potato paste to make the gel last up to two months in the refrigerator.
★Application
Perform a patch test to check for any allergic reactions.
Apply the gel to clean skin with a cotton pad or your fingers, avoiding the eye area.
Leave it on for 45 minutes, then rinse off with cool water.
