Tomato-lemon brightening pack |
Here's a pack that you will thank me for! This is a must for the brides out there.
Tomatoes are rich in anti oxidant lycopene and helps with the signs of aging.Tomateos make your skin smooth and supple.They help in refining your pores.
Lemon is rich in citric acid. This helps in lightening of the skin. It is also said to be very helpful in preventing and controlling acne.
Ingredients:
1/2 tomato
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon kasturi manjal (turmeric)
Mix all the ingredients together. Take a cotton pad and dip it inside this mixture. Once it's soaked, apply on your face and neck and leave for about 15-20 mins. Your pack will tighter and you wouldn't be able to move your facial muscles too much. Now you can wash it off with cold water.
You're done! Do this continuously for a week or two depending on your skin and then reduce it to alternate days. Do this well in advance(3-4 months before the wedding ) for that "Tube-light" glow on your face.
Note: As the citric acid would make your skin more sensitive to light, make sure you do this at night and give your skin some rest at night to bounce back to work during the day or you can apply a really good sun screen.
