5 Face packs using tomato for clear, glowing and fairer skin

Last 2 weeks had been a roller coaster personally and physically. It did really take a toll on my physical health as well as on my mental health.

I am now finally ready to be actively work on my blog again as usual. Today I have some amazing face packs that really work and are easy to make from readily available staples at every home.

The main ingredient of all these face pack is tomato is a wonder by itself. I rub tomato slices on my face every time I wash it before applying any toner or moisturizer. This helps with the burning sensation that you normally get, when you go in the sun regularly. Chennai being a hot city all round the year, this had become a habit for us. There were times that I forget applying the slices and I could definitely feel the difference. The days when I don't apply tan more and burn more. However the days on which I do apply are cooler than usual and I tend to tan lesser.


Face pack 1:
Ingredients:
Tomato juice - 2 teaspoon or as needed
Fullers earth/multani miti - 1 teaspoon
Add fullers earth/multani miti and tomato juice in a small bowl. Mix it well to form a thick paste, you may add a little bit of rose water. This is a great face pack to remove all the dead cells and dirt from your pores. Leave it on your face for 10 mins and wash it off with cold water. If you have a dry skin, apply this face pack once a week. And if you have an oily skin you may apply once or twice a week.

Face pack 2:
Ingredients:
Tomato juice - 2 teaspoon
Honey - 1 teaspoon
This is a very simple pack which gives you instant glow. Honey helps with lightening the skin and also aids with any acne or pimples that you might have. Add 2 teaspoon of tomato juice along with 1 teaspoon of honey. Since this will be a runny face pack, apply a coat and wait for it to semi dry and then apply another coat. Leave this face pack on your face for 10 mins and wash it off with cold/regular water. You may apply this face pack every day too.

Face pack 3:

Lime juice - 1/2 teaspoon or few drops
Olive oil - 1/2 teaspoon
This face pack helps in lightening the skin and aids with removing sun tan. Add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. This face pack will also be runny so you may wait till the first coat dry a bit and then apply a second coat till you exhaust all the liquid mixture. Leave it on for 10 to 15 mins and then wash it with regular water. Remember to use a good sun screen lotion with atleast SP15 to protect your skin, whenever you apply lime on your skin.

Face pack 4:
Ingredients:
Tomato juice - 1 teaspoon
Potato juice - 1 teaspoon
This is again a simple yet effective face pack. Add equal quantities of tomato and potato juice and mix well. Apply this on your face and leave it to dry. Wash it off with regular/cold water. This helps in lightening your skin naturally without any side effects.

Face pack 5:
