When you have to make a homemade face mask, the first ingredients you’ll think of are lemons, turmeric or oats. However, did you know that tomatoes can be used to make one of the best natural fruit face masks?
Basic Ingredients you’ll need:
- One tomato
- One cucumber
- One lemon
- One teaspoon of olive oil
- Two tablespoons of honey
- One tablespoon of avocado
The Tomato Face Mask
Prepare the tomato sauce
The same tomato base is used in a variety of face masks. Take a large, ripe tomato and cut it in half. Squeeze the tomato over a small bowl until all of the liquid and seeds are in the bowl.
The tomato must be ripe enough to have enough liquid to serve as a basis for your masks. It doesn’t matter what sort of tomato you use, but you need enough juice to cover your entire face, which should be around 2 teaspoons.
Because of the acidity of the tomatoes, using them on your face may cause discomfort or itching at first. It should be gone. If the problem persists, wash off the mask and do not reapply it.
Tomatoes include skin-beneficial chemicals such as lycopene, the vitamin that gives them their red color.
Make an Oily Skin Mask
To extract the juice from a cucumber, grind or mix it. To the tomato mixture, add two to three teaspoons of cucumber juice. Then, depending on how thin your juices are, add one to two teaspoons of honey. Mix everything up thoroughly. Apply the mask to your entire face. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and gently dry your skin.
The cucumber peel can be left on to boost the nutritional content of the juice.
You may also utilize the cucumber paste that forms after blending it.
If the mask is too thin, add a little honey at a time to thicken it.
Cucumbers are an excellent addition to tomatoes because of their anti-inflammatory and cleaning capabilities, which will aid in the removal of oil and soothing your skin.
Create a Dry Skin Mask
Depending on how much tomato juice you have, add one teaspoon to one tablespoon of olive oil. Combine the two thoroughly. Put on the mask and keep it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse and pat dry with warm water.
Make a Combo Skin Mask
To a bowl, add a spoonful of avocado. Mash the avocado with a fork until it forms a paste. Mix in the avocado with the tomato juice. Mix them together and apply to your face. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse and pat dry with lukewarm water.
The avocado should be ripe so that it will smooth out nicely for you.
Avocado is beneficial to dry skin because the vitamins A and E it contains protect and nourish the skin. Avocado’s natural oils hydrate your skin on touch, and the vitamins help seal in the moisture.
Make a Mask for Every Skin Type
Cut a lemon in half and extract one tablespoon of juice. Combine the two juices well. Apply the mixture to your face using a cotton ball. Leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water and patting dry.
Because of the extra acidity in the lemon, this mask may hurt significantly more than the tomato juice alone, especially if you have sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin or allergies to citrus juice, use caution.
You may also add some oats to your mask for texture and nutrition.
Lemon juice contains nutrients and vitamins that will brighten, moisturize, exfoliate, and lighten your skin, as well as aid in acne treatment.
