13 Ways to Use Potatoes Very Few People Know About

2. Attend to any burns.

Hey, there's some seriousness to this. Please take note that the following procedure works best for sunburns; however, there's no need to panic; we'll explain how to modify it for other mild burns.Cut a couple of potatoes into thin slices after giving them a thorough wash. If you're not comfortable cutting, you may also grate it or combine it to make a juicy paste. Although more messy, these methods provide your skin with more of the essential cooling agent. Apply gauze and cotton pads to your skin to firmly apply the compresses. Slices (or any other desired application) should be applied to the afflicted area. After 10 to 15 minutes, they should be removed, and your skin should be washed with cool water.Potato slices won't work if you have burns that are similar to those caused by boiling water. Here, the fluid from the potatoes works like magic (albeit the slices can be very painful), so for the most delicate and "wet" method, use a raw potato mash.Apply the mash to the burn gently, and let it stay there until the pain subsides. Be patient; it could take ten minutes to several hours. When the mash goes brown, switch it out.Recall that the quicker you respond, the better the outcome will be.
