Sure, we love tomatoes as burger toppers or pops of color in summer salads, but we also love to use them as a means to get our beauty on. Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, tomatoes make a strong case for coming off of the plate and making their way directly onto your face!
Bright and Tight: Packed with vitamin C, tomatoes applied directly to skin can improve tautness and brighten any complexion. Cut a firm tomato in half and gently glide over your face; wash off after 15 minutes.
Acne Aid: The natural acid in tomatoes balances the skin’s pH level, removes excess oils, and helps dry out pesky blemishes.Tomato paste makes the perfect pore minimizing, blackhead busting beauty quick fix ever.
Fountain of Youth: Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that counters the signs of premature aging and helps maintain that youthful glow! Lycopene not only increases as tomatoes ripen--the more ripened, the better--but also as they are cooked down and concentrated!
D-I-Y: A tomato a day can keep your dry skin at bay. The cooling properties tomatoes possess make them the perfect summer choice for DIY beauty. Tomatoes blended with cucumbers and avocados make the perfect moisturizing mask for all skin types. Let the mixture set into your skin for 20 minutes before rinsing with cool water.
