Considered a healthy food, tomato is full of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals that may be beneficial for your skin.
According to many, tomatoes help cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturize your skin. So, let’s learn why and how to use tomatoes in your skincare routine.
Benefits of Tamoto for your skin:
Cures sunburn: As tomatoes have anti-inflammatory effects, they may help ease the pain of sunburn and skin irritations when applied to the skin.
Help get a firmer skin: Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C which may help you get a firm skin with improved skin elasticity.
May remove dead skin cells: Enzymes in tomatoes may help exfoliate the skin when applied to the face and remove dead skin while improving the overall health and appearance of your skin.
Tomato has anti-ageing properties: Tomatoes are packed with B vitamins which are beneficial for the skin. While including tomatoes in your diet is surely helpful for skin health, applying them on the skin also may result in glowing skin.
How to use Tomato in your skincare routine:
Tomato face mask: Make a tomato face mask by mixing tomato juice, oatmeal, or yoghurt. Apply the mask over your face and wash it with lukewarm water after about 20 minutes, to get the result.
Spot treatment: You can use tomato as a spot treatment by applying its juice only over the concerned areas, like your body parts with dryness or hyperpigmentation.
Direct application: Besides, you can apply 100% tomato juice on your face by using a cotton swab. Blending tomato into a paste and applying directly on the face also works.
Skin scrub: Create a tomato skin scrub using mashed-up tomatoes and sugar. Scrub them on your body and be careful to avoid your face, as market-bought sugar crystals are too spikey which may cause injuries on face skin.
