Homemade Face Mask No. 13: Calming Tomato Mask
Try it: During the summer, when you need extra sun protection
Why it works: This homemade face mask is all about the lycopenes, a good chemical found in tomatoes, which studies say help improve collagen production and fights skin-damaging free radicals.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 cup tomatoes, peeled and crushed
1 egg white
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions: Combine all ingredients into a paste. Apply to clean skin and leave on for ten to fifteen minutes. Rinse off the mask and follow with a hydrating gel, if needed.
