HEALTH FACTS:
Tomatoes contain vitamin A (retinol), vitamin C, helps with oily skin, clears blackheads, helps shrink pores and helps tighten the skin
Cucumbers are the "cooling" side of the toner. They are known to contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and secoisolariciresinol (three lignans that are strongly connected with the reduction of risk in cardiovascular disease, as well as breast, uterine, ovarian, and prostate cancers).
Limes contain antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. They are also an excellent source of vitamin C (one of the most important antioxidants in nature).
What to do:
-
Slice a tomato in half, blend or juice it
-
Take a few slices of a peeled cucumber and juice it as well
-
Mix an equal amount of both juices onto a small container or bowl
-
Add 4 or 5 drops of lime juice and mix the solution
-
Dip a cotton ball into the solution, dab it onto your clean face and let it sit for 15-20 minutes
-
Wash your face warm water, let your face air dry
*Don't get rid of the pulp in the tomato, you can rub it on your face (after the toner) to take care of blackheads and exposed acne
*Don't forget your neck!
