Who would have thought that a fruit as common as the tomato, which we slice every day into our salads, could contain so many benefits for the skin? Behind its bright red color hides a concentrate of benefits: to revive the complexion’s radiance, tighten pores, prevent imperfections and reduce the first signs of aging… Are you curious? Wait until you see what a few well-applied slices can do!
Why is the tomato a great ally for the skin?
Imagine a little red shield against external aggressions. Tomatoes are naturally rich in antioxidants, particularly lycopene, a powerful component that protects the skin from free radicals and premature aging. Add vitamin C to boost natural radiance and vitamin A to smooth skin texture, and you have a veritable healthy-looking cocktail… right in your kitchen!
