A way to brighten sun-damaged skin

Article from  Beverly Hills MD

What if I told you there was a way to brighten sun-damaged skin... using an ingredient you put in your salad?

I know it sounds strange… but tomatoes actually contain some major “sun-fighting” benefits.

You see, tomatoes are naturally rich in lycopene — a potent antioxidant that is proven to protect your skin from the aging effects of sun exposure.¹

In fact, this nutrient is so powerful that it can actually brighten your complexion and reduce the look of discoloration...

Leaving your skin softer, smoother, and more radiant.

So I want to tell you about one of my favorite ways to harness all of these skin-brightening benefits right at home.

It’s an easy-to-make face mask that helps reduce signs of sun-damaged skin, and gives your complexion an instant glow.

I call it my “brightness-boosting summer facial” — and it’s made from three all-natural skin nourishers:

• Fresh tomato juice to naturally brighten skin and even out skin tone
• Raw honey to restore hydration and soften skin texture
• Coconut milk to promote skin elasticity and prevent new wrinkles from forming

Here’s how it’s done:

1. Combine 1 tablespoon of raw honey and 1 tablespoon of coconut milk in a small bowl.

2. Cut a whole tomato in half and squeeze the juice from both halves into your bowl. Stir well.

3. Apply a thin, even layer all over your face. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes.

4. Use a warm washcloth to remove the mask, then pat dry with a clean towel. Follow with a rich moisturizer to lock in hydration.
