-
1 ripe tomato
-
1 tablespoon honey (natural moisturizer)
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural bleaching agent)
-
1 tablespoon gram flour (besan) or rice flour (exfoliating and brightening)
-
1 teaspoon yogurt (for lactic acid exfoliation and hydration)
Step-by-Step Preparation & Application
Step 1: Cleanse
Before applying anything, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
Step 2: Tomato Pulp Base
-
Cut the tomato in half and grate or blend it to extract a smooth pulp.
-
Strain if needed to remove seeds.
Step 3: Mix the Facial Pack
In a bowl, combine:
-
1 tablespoon tomato pulp
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon gram flour or rice flour

1 teaspoon yogurt
Mix into a smooth, thick paste.
Step 4: Apply to Face
-
Using clean fingers or a brush, apply the paste evenly over your face and neck.
-
Avoid the eye area.
Step 5: Massage
Gently massage in upward circular motions for 2–3 minutes. This boosts circulation and enhances absorption.
Step 6: Let It Sit
Leave the mask on for 15–20 minutes or until semi-dry.
Step 7: Rinse
Rinse off with lukewarm water while massaging to exfoliate. Finish with a splash of cold water to close pores.
