Tomatoes, the perfect skin friend

Tomatoes are one of my favourite and most effective remedies for clear and clean skin.

Tomatoes are one of my favourite and most effective remedies for clear and clean skin. Not only are these humble, robust red balls of nutrients full of goodness, but they are also highly effective in healing and clarifying the skin. Slightly acidic in nature, tomatoes contain a high amount of potassium and vitamin C.

Reduce oiliness Not only are tomatoes excellent for reducing oiliness, but they also help keep the skin cleaner and tighter. Rub raw tomatoes all over the skin and leave them on for five minutes before washing off.

Open pores Tomatoes help to reduce open pores and blackheads. Just cut a tomato in half and rub all over the skin, letting the juice saturate into the pores. Leave on for 15 minutes and wash off.
