Dry Skin Mask With Tomato Slices

Tomato is a fruit and vegetable health power house due to its high nutritional value. It is rich in

calcium, folic acid, iron, potassium, vitamin A, C , E, niacin etc.
It contains lycopene and zeaxanthin which are antioxidants that can help work against free radicals. Tomato also contains natural astringent properties which serve as a natural solution for some skin problems like dry skin.

A simple method of relieving dry skin is to apply a ripe sliced tomato directly to the skin.  This is a very messy treatment so it is best to do it over the sink.

Direction

Cut the ripe tomato in tiny slices. Rub it on your face for about 2 minutes. Place some more slices on your face and stay in a position that will not let it drop. It is better to lie on your back. Wait for 15 to 20 minutes. Use the slices on your face as a scrub by rubbing it more into your face. This should work like a face peel to reveal a soft and smooth skin. This is why tomato mask can also help remove blackheads and pimples. You can wipe off the excess tomato and leave your face unwashed to allow it restore the acidic balance of your skin.  

Another method is to blend one ripe tomato and add about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in it. Mix well. Apply the mixture or mask to your face and wash it off after 20 minutes.
