On pasta, on pizza, in salads and, why not, as a thirst-quenching and low-calorie cocktail: tomatoes are the real stars of cuisine, especially in Italy.

But are you sure that the only way to use them is in the kitchen? In reality, tomatoes are a natural, inexpensive and easily available remedy, for beauty to be exploited in many ways and for multiple needs.

What are the uses of tomatoes for beauty? These, for example.

1. Face mask against acne

The tomato has marvelous effects on the skin due to the content of vitamin A and vitamin C. Its use is very effective in combating acne and the overproduction of sebum. Blend a fresh tomato and apply the pulp thus obtained on the skin of the face for 15-20 minutes as if it were a mask.

2. Exfoliating body treatment

Do you want to eliminate dead cells and have a radiant and hydrated skin? Mix the pulp of two tomatoes with three tablespoons of oatmeal and a teaspoon of olive oil. Apply the mixture obtained on the skin and massage gently. Then proceed with a good rinse.

3. For stronger hair

To strengthen hair damaged by chemical treatments or pollution, apply tomato juice to damp hair and let it act for at least half an hour. Then proceed with the normal shampoo. You'll also see your brighter natural highlights!

4. To soothe red skin

Have you been in the sun too much and forgot your protection? Bad, but now it's done. To relieve the burning sensation and, at the same time, make the tan last longer, prepare an emulsion based on tomato juice and olive oil and gently massage it into the reddened skin.

6. A reactivating bath

The tomato can also be used to stimulate circulation, thus helping you to fight the imperfections caused by water retention. Boil a kilo of ripe tomatoes in two liters of water for about ten minutes. Then pass them in the vegetable crusher until you get a puree, while keeping the boiling water separately, which in turn will be enriched with potassium and other beneficial acids.Now all you have to do is prepare the tub by filling it with warm water in which you will also pour the cooking water of the tomatoes. Once immersed, start massaging the tomato paste on the skin of the body, insisting on the legs. After about a quarter of an hour you can proceed to rinse with fresh water.

7. A refreshing tonic

A fresh, fast and virtually no-cost tonic? Cut two slices of tomato and pass them on your skin after taking off your make-up. Then rinse and look in the mirror: your skin will be energized, radiant and revitalized.
