Tomatoes are very nutritious for us to eat. But they are also good to help treat oily skin because they contain natural AHA's, which can help to balance the pH levels. So when you are adding one to your salad, save one for your skin as well. Does this Spark an idea?
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil on a stovetop.
Place the tomatoes into the boiling water and allow them to boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Once time has elapsed, remove the tomatoes from the pot and place in a bowl of cold water and ice cubes.
Allow the tomatoes to cool and then remove them from the ice bath onto a towel or several paper towels. Pat them dry and then let them sit until completely cool.
Once cooled, gently rub the tomatoes to remove the skin. Once the skin is removed, you will need to cut them in half, crush them slightly and remove the seeds.
After removing the seeds, place the crushed tomatoes into the food processor and pulse until pureed.
Place the pureed tomatoes into a bowl and take them to your bathroom so you can prepare to use them as a mask.
On clean and dry skin, begin applying a layer of the tomato puree onto your face and neck, if needed. The puree is slippery, so once you apply it you may want to lie down so it stays in place. Keep the tomato puree on your face for 15 minutes.
Rinse you face after 15 minutes has passed and then continue with your regular regimen.
Tips
- To make the tomato mask thicker, you can add uncooked oatmeal. This can help the mask stay on your face better.
