MashaAllah I’m loving the skincare recipes! This one is fantastic! I have a lot of trouble with my skin (thanks to PCOS) and a good, gentle, natural scrub does wonders!
I’m going to try this inshaAllah! Is it ok to cut it small and mash it with a fork and use it that way? Using the blender is not an easy task with a very noise sensitive child around ;)
Aasalam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah
Jazak Allah Khair for the tip! I don’t know if I can resist not eating the tomato, that’s my fav!!!! LOL
Salaams! A relative in Amman told me that she knew a lady with the most beautiful skin. Her secret was that she’d splash a little of whatever fruit or vegetable she was using on her face! The thought of seeing it makes me laugh, but it seems to work!
@Emma- of course, yes a fork or potato masher, whatever you can do to break down the tomato, enough to be able to put it on your face.
@Sue- I have a friend from the Middle East whose mother also does the same thing. I think it’s true about it helping the skin look fresh and stay young. Perhaps it does slow down the aging proces- I’ve seen living proof!
