Hello everyone!
Yesterday I posted a recipe for a DIY acne-fighting gel and today I want to share another acne-fighting beauty recipe with you. For this DIY you will need two key ingredients; a lemon and a tomato.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe tomato
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp oatmeal (optional)
Lemons are full of AHA’s and BHA’s which remove dead skin cells, fight acne, minimize pores and brighten skin. Back in November of 2011, I posted an article titled: Lemons for clear skin; in which I wrote about the countless benefits of lemons. Make sure you read it for more information.
Tomatoes have cooling and astringent properties. They’re also rich in antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin A. Their acidity helps tame excessive oil production too.
Oatmeal helps reduce itching and inflammation and can be used to calm acne, eczema and heal psoriasis.
Method:
- Mash the peeled tomato in a bowl.
- Add the lemon juice (and oatmeal) and mix everything together.
- Apply to clean face and leave on for 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse and follow with your favourite toner and moisturiser.
Tip: If you have dry skin add half a teaspoon of coconut oil to this mask.
