Introduction:
Tomatoes aren’t just for pasta sauces and salads—they’re a surprising skin-care secret you might already have in your kitchen. Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and natural acids, tomatoes can refresh, exfoliate, and brighten your skin. Rubbing a tomato on your face may seem unconventional, but the natural properties of this fruit make it a powerful, affordable remedy for common skin issues like acne, dullness, and excess oil.
Ingredients:
To make a simple, skin-boosting tomato rub, you'll need:
1 ripe, organic tomato
(Optional) 1 tsp honey (for added hydration)
(Optional) ½ tsp lemon juice (for extra brightening power – not recommended for sensitive skin)
Preparation:
Slice the tomato in half.
(Optional) Mix the tomato juice with honey or lemon juice in a small bowl.
Using the sliced half or the juice mixture, gently massage the tomato onto clean skin in circular motions for 1–2 minutes.
Let it sit for another 5–10 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Use this treatment 2–3 times per week.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Only use freshly cut tomato for each session.
Store unused tomato halves in the fridge for up to 2 days, but discard if it starts to dry out or spoil.
Always patch-test if using lemon juice to avoid irritation.
