If you have tried various beauty hacks aside from the fancy creams on the market, and haven’t received the desired results, here is one power-packed skincare ingredient you must turn to. The humble tomato, that every kitchen stocks in abundance. In truth, you do not need anything other than a simple tomato to address all your skincare issues. All you need to do it simply slice up a tomato and rub it over the areas you have pimples, dark spots, or if your skin is badly sun damaged. After applying a generous coat, allow it to dry for about 10 minutes and rinse off with cool water. You can repeat this ritual from twice to thrice a week to get rid of all acne and blemishes.
There are various combinations you can churn out with the tomato, either by blending it with sugar that works as an exfoliator, by mixing it with lemon juice to shrink large pores, or even by blending it with yoghurt to lighten sun tan. Tomato and honey are a good combination if you want a smooth and supple skin, while tomato with cucumber juice can help cut the oiliness of your skin.
This how your skin responds when you apply tomato to it.
1. Tomato removes dead skin cells
It is a natural exfoliator that helps clear clogged skin, and cleanses it by removing the layer of dead skin cells.
2. Tomato cuts skin dryness
A rich source of Vitamins A, C, and antioxidants, it is one of the most natural moisturiser that can help curb skin dryness.
3. Tomato banishes wrinkles
Owing to high amount of lycopene, Vitamin E and C in it, it helps boost skin elasticity by reducing formation of fine lines and wrinkles. These Vitamins stimulate the collagen fibre and restores sagging skin.
4. Tomato cures pimples
The alpha hydroxy and salicylic acids in it work to destroy bacteria in the skin that causes rashes and breakouts while repairing damaged skin.
5. Tomato lightens skin tone
The citric nature of tomato in addition to the presence of lycopene makes it a natural bleach. It whitens your skin and curbs skin pigmentation, sun tan and removes all impurities from the skin.
