TOMATO SKIN FACE MASKS
The two of us like to blend a half a table spoon of lemon juice and a half of the inside of a tomato and use it as a mask, to brighten our skin and fight oil. It can also be used to fade scars and it can be used as a natural toner. Sometimes, we even add a few drops of olive oil to moisturize. Other times, we’ll add tablespoon of honey, which is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal. It brightens our skin and prevents breakouts. When we need to wake up our cells, we combine a half an inside of a tomato with a third of the inside of a cucumber, which nourishes and soothes our faces. If you’re looking to exfoliate, add a sprinkle of epsom salt to your tomato mixture. Even cutting a tomato in half and applying it directly to the skin does wonders. There are so many different ways to enjoy homemade tomato masks, the list goes on and on.
