Not many of us relish getting pelted on the face with tomatoes,
but believe it or not, tomatoes are excellent for the skin.
The humble tomato is one item no kitchen shelf is ever without,
no matter what the season or location. Perhaps this is why most of us take
the tomato for granted and do not appreciate the tremendous health and beauty
benefits it brings.
Not many of us relish getting pelted on the face with tomatoes, but believe
it or not, tomatoes are excellent for the skin. In fact, as far as
anti-ageing products go, tomatoes rank high on the list.
Tomatoes are rich in anti-oxidants and so they counter the ageing effects on
the skin, by cutting out the number of free radicals in your body. Free
radicals break down the support system for your hair and skin, so it makes
sense to eat a tomato a day.
In addition, tomatoes help preserve moisture levels in the body. In the
summer or winter, when our skin is exposed to artificial heating or cooling,
moisture levels in our body fall. We need to constantly replenish this water
supply, or our body will start sucking moisture from the skin and the hair.
In addition to eating a tomato a day, it makes sense to drink no less than 10
to 12 glasses of water daily.
If your skin is oily, you can apply tomatoes to your face. It counters oily skin
by absorbing surplus oil and also helps get rid of pimples and acne. Apply
undiluted tomato paste to your face and leave on for 15 minutes. Wash off
with warm, not hot, water. In addition, tomatoes also help lighten the
complexion, especially if mixed with cucumber juice. This makes a great face
mask for oily skin. Place a cucumber slice on each eyelid and cover the rest
of your face with the mask, taking care to avoid the delicate under-eye area.
If your skin is dry, you can add some day-old curd to the tomato paste and
then apply to your skin. Tomato masks have excellent anti-ageing properties,
so start applying them once you cross the age of 25.
If your skin starts burning when you apply to tomato mask, wash it off. You
should feel a gentle tingling sensation after applying the tomato but if it
stings too much, you could wash it off and add curd before applying the mask.
Do you have a boil or a pimple? Apply tomato paste to it. The acids from the
tomato will soothe the pain of a boil and will also speed its recovery.
Slightly red cheeks look healthy and very appealing. Eating tomatoes
regularly gives you a pink and glowing complexion, so eat up!
Hair Tip
If ever your hair has absorbed foul odor which you are not able to lose
despite shampooing it, a great way to neutralize this odor and get rid of the
smell would be to apply undiluted tomato paste to your scalp. Leave on for
fifteen minutes and then wash it off. Your hair should be odor-free, and
dandruff free.
