Tomato can help to remove excess oil on the face and it’s especially suitable for people with oily skin like me. Consistent application also aids in the removal of blackheads, shrinking of pores, whitening and smoothing of the skin. Its antibacterial properties also makes it a good remedy for acne.
I’m pretty prone to having blackheads on my face. So you can imagine how excited I was when I got to know that tomato can help to diminish my blackheads. But I was warned that it is not an overnight remedy. It can take a few months to a few years. Patience and determination is a must! I really don’t mind and I would prefer taking this safe and natural route.
When I applied the tomato pulp onto my face, I felt a slight stinging and itchy sensation on my skin for the first 5 to 10 minutes. But the sensation goes away after a while and my skin felt tight. After rinsing off with water, it left my skin feeling fresher, hydrated and clean. I also feel good knowing that I am using something natural. =)
I have consistently applied tomato pulp onto my face for the past 1 month and I’ve noticed that the pores on my face seemed to have shrunk a little. And my blackheads are less obvious now, although there’s still a lot of the tiny ones here and there. I will definitely continue this natural remedy.
The whole process is actually as simple as cutting the tomato in half, rub it onto your face and neck (if you wish), rinse off with water after 15 mins and you are done. =)
If you have time to spare, you can also prepare the tomato pulp using the following ways:
A) Slice the tomato and mash it into a pulp using a fork or spoon. This is surprisingly not easy for me to do…
B) Use a mortar and pestle if you have one, it is easier to mash up the tomato into a pulp.
C) Or, if you are cooking some dish with tomato, you can first scoop out the inside of the tomato and store its juicy parts in the fridge for later use. Or apply immediately. This is a good way to not waste any parts of the tomato. =)
Enjoy the natural remedy to a healthier skin! *wink*

How often do you wear the mask? once a day everyday? or once a week?
Hi Eloise, I do it only once in a while when I get my hands on tomatoes. If you like, you can do it daily.
Is daily safe….I do honey (raw) mask daily…I dnt knw if its safe
does this mask thin skin if apply daily?
Hi Niki, I believe it won’t thin the skin if apply daily. My aunt applies frequently and her skin is radiant no signs on thinning.
Lee cheng its surprising to see you here.Anyway is it realy helpful?
Using Tomatoes for acne, are incredibly healthy for skin , not just in vitamins for healthy living, but also in nutrients for your skin, such as calcium, potassium and rich in lycopene. Tomatoes are particularly helpful in acne treatment, also helps to cure and prevent pimples. You can actually apply tomatoes for acne directly to your skin.

Yes Komal, you can apply this daily which my aunt does. No problem with that.
I have whiteheads.can i also apply this?tomatoes?
I just started the tomato mask last night along with other masks because of some ugly blackheads … Hope this works!!! *Finger Crossed* lol
hi ..how do you apply tomato mask? do you wash your face with soap first then apply the tomato or apllying tomato first then rinse your face with soap?? thank you..
Hi Eljay, you can wash your face first with soap and then apply the tomatoes.
I hope this really works.
t may also reduce the chances of scarring after your skin
has cleared up. Using natural home remedies for astringents can save you money and
minimize your skin’s exposure to chemicals. Complications may also include discoloration of the skin and developing a firm texture.
Hello,
I do this one every day, and it works amazingly! How long should we leave it on?
Hi Emily, you can leave it on for 20 – 30mins until it has dried up on your face.
Hiya! I know this iss kinda ooff topic but I’d figured I’d ask.

Hi,
Can I use tomato as overnight mask ??
It’s healthy or not????
Hi Today i tried to used tomato as a facescrub and leave it for 15 minutes and it was effective. i have tries oatmeal mask,cucumber mask but so far this is the most effective scrub.
tried*
is it ok to leave it all tru d nite
It is not necessary to leave through the night. Best to rinse it off.
Can u put any facial cream on your face after rinsing the tomato of your face please
Yes, why not? 🙂
Can i mash a large amount of tomato into a pulp then store it in the refrigerate for farther usage. Can i just take away the juicy parts of the tomato and store it, do i really have to do all the extra work……i’ll try it….i’ll be waiting for an answer… 🙂
Hi Alex, I would recommend using it as fresh as you can, and if you want, make a small batch that last maybe 2-3 days.
After 15 minutes do i have to wash my face with soup are just rinse it with water.
🙂
Simply rinse off with water will do.
Why cant i leave the tomato over night…
Hi, I was wondering, how long does it take for the tomato mask to actually start clearing your face??? Days, months, years??????
Hi Destiny, depending on individual, it may take months. It also depends very much on your diet. If you have a clean and healthy diet, it will reflect that on your skin too.
This looks like so much fun! I love making natural clay masks with my friends. Nothing beats putting on a face mask and watching a good movie with the girls! Thanks for this.

Hope this works for me… Av really tried many things.. Nothing has worked soo far… Got hope on tomato…. My beauty will flourish if this favors me… Thanx fr yur info.. Xoxo
Sometimes the use of commercial facial cleanser could cause facial issues. Do some elimination method. Go back to using the most basic and natural stuffs, like barley cleanser etc.
first day trying this , my skin has been breaking out for no reason lately:( will this help prevent acne scaring ? I feel like my acne always leaves marks on my face and take forever to fade
Hi Sarah, for acne scaring, you may want to read up more about using Vitamin E oil and try it.

my face gets red in the cheeks and chin after using tomato mask. is it normal?
Hi. I m blackheads, white heads and pimples on my neck and hole face. Can the tomatoes help me to get rid of from all these???
Please advice please please
I read an article a few days ago about a tomato mask. I started having hormonal breakouts on my forehead after I had a baby in my late 30s. I tried all kinds of creams, scrubs, and masks. I’ve been using the tomato mask for only four days and have honestly notice some diminishing of the bumps on my forehead. Not only is it great for acne, but it is also a natural antioxidant. I usually leave mine on for about 40 minutes and then simply rinse my face with water and I do this on a daily basis now. I just take a tomato and cut slices and rub the slices on my face and then dispose of the outer part. One tomato is lasting me one week. I zip lock the rest of the tomato in a plastic baggie for the next night.
Hi! Just wanna share my experience using s tomato. Im a 24 yr old male and I havnt had any problem with my face when I was in my teenage years, but suddenly had changed when i turned 21 acnes starts appearing on my face, not severe but i guess i had 5-8 spots every week and when it disappears another spots will come out again. And also i have melasma on my cheek due to frequent sun exposure, been battle with acne and melasma for about 3 years, i had used various creams,toners,face wash and i even went to a derma just to clear my acne up but nothing happened, untill i researched natural home remedy then luckily i found tomato and read all its contents and started to rub its skin on my face before going to bed and wash it in the morning, but i washed my face first with vaseline face wash for men, i think it took me 1 month of daily rubbing a sliced totamo on my face and it really cleared up my skin, after that i havnt use any kinds of creams,toners just facewash and tomato, it also removed my melasma i guess its because of its vitamin c content.
Hi. Please Is the tomato mask suitable for dry skin? Please reply thanks
Hi, I just started using the tomato renedy:)
I used lime and i did not like how it irritated. Actually I applied shea butter on my face after the lime remedy
Can I also apply the shea butter after I rinse off the tomato from my face?
Lime is phototoxic. So it is not advisable to use on skin. Yes you can apply Shea butter on your skin after rinsing off tomato.
If I made too much can I save it for later ? And how long can I keep it stored before it expires ?.
This Actually Really Works !!!!! I Been Using This For Almost A Week And I’m Seeing Results Already!!!
Tried this last night. It works!!!
Hello, i want to know that can we apply almond oil on face after rinsing off tomato..i have large pores on my face

Sometimes I only use the pulp. So the skin is not really necessary.

Hi,
When I applied tomato scrub on my neck, small red rashes were developed.
But when I applied it on my hands & feet, it looks fine.
Is this common or should I need to discontinue on neck?
(My skin-fair type & is quite sensitive in nature).
Hey,here’s a great tip to use all of the tomatoes flesh without wasting it ,first core the tomato to get rid of the white and hard part,the put it into a bowl filled with hot boiling water for about 5-10 minutes,then you can peel out the skin of the tomatoes easily and also mashes it with a fork easily without struggle,after this step you can store this tomato mask in a jar and keep it in the fridge for about 1-2 weeks and please do keep the jar covered or closed to avoid it from being dry in the fridge.
Have fun and good luck,btw thanks for telling us the benefits of tomato mask.
