• Aloe vera gel – 1 teaspoon
• Rosewater
• Spray bottle

How to make and use:

• Peel, grate, blend and extract the juice out of the potato. You may get around 4-5 tablespoons of potato juice. 
• Next, take a small glass jar and pour the potato juice in it, add a teaspoon of aloe vera gel, a few drops of lemon juice, and 4-5 tablespoons of rose water. 
• Mix all the ingredients well and the toner is ready. Now transfer this potato juice to a clean empty spray bottle. Shake the bottle well before you use it.
• Spray this potato juice/ toner on your face 2-3 times a day and use it daily to reduce dark spots and blemishes. 
• You cannot store the freshly made potato toner, hence you will have to make it daily.
• Side tip: If you do not want to make the toner daily and want to store it longer, say about a week, then replace fresh potato juice with a teaspoon of potato powder. This way you can store the toner for 1 week in the refrigerator. 
• You can even use the potato juice to lighten dark circles, just don’t add lemon juice if you want to use it for dark circles.
