Precautions and Tips
Although tomatoes offer many benefits for the skin, it’s important to take some precautions to avoid adverse reactions:
Allergy Test
Before applying any tomato mask or toner to your face, perform an allergy test on a small area of your skin, such as your arm, to ensure you don’t experience irritation.
Moderate Use
Excessive use of tomatoes can cause irritation to sensitive skin due to their acidity. Applying tomato products more than 2-3 times per week is not recommended.
Sun Protection
After using tomatoes on your skin, it’s important to apply sunscreen if you plan to go out in the sun. Tomatoes can increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
Avoid Eye Contact
When applying any tomato product, be sure to avoid the eye area, as it can cause irritation.
