Tomatoes are a great ingredient to use in a homemade facial mask to achieve glowing skin. Here’s a simple recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 1 tomato
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions:
- Cut the tomato in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl.
- Mix in the honey until well combined.
- Cleanse your face and pat dry.
- Apply the tomato and honey mixture to your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse your face with warm water and pat dry.
You can use this mask 1-2 times a week for best results. The acidity in the tomato acts as a natural astringent, helping to tighten and brighten your skin. The honey is a natural humectant, meaning it helps to moisturize and hydrate your skin. Together, they can help to improve the overall appearance and feel of your skin.
It’s always best to try the mask on a small patch of skin, like behind the ear, to check for any allergies before applying it to face. However, to know more you can check below for other possibilities

Tomatoes on the face: how often should they be applied?
Anytime of the day is convenient for you to apply tomato to your face. When it comes to tomatoes, I recommend using them indoors. Tomato juice can also be applied overnight to your face. In addition to tomatoes containing citric acid, they may cause a condition known as phytophotodermatitis when exposed to the sun right after they have been applied. In some cases, blisters can form due to the inflammation and swelling. It is also recommended that you avoid using tomatoes the night before spending time outdoors in the sun.
Conclusion
The antioxidants and vitamins in tomatoes provide lots of benefits for the skin when regularly applied. It is, however, important to use tomato in moderation since it is acidic. Consult your dermatologist immediately if you feel uncomfortable after using tomato.
