8. Delays Skin Aging

The antioxidant property of tomatoes reduces free-radical damage in the body to keep your skin looking young and healthy.

You must also include tomatoes in your diet. Being a rich source of lycopene, tomatoes help your skin absorb more oxygen, which delays skin aging and makes it less prone to wrinkles.

1. Put the pulp of 1 tomato and 1 ripe avocado in a blender and blend them into a smooth paste.
2. Apply the mixture over your face.
3. Leave it on for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
4. Rinse it off with lukewarm water and pat dry your face gently with a soft towel.
5. Use this anti-aging face mask once a week.

Also, drink a glass of tomato juice daily to nourish your skin from within.

It even helps get rid of the foul odor, which is a common symptom of oily hair.

2. Leave it on for 10 minutes.
3. Rinse your hair with cool water.
4. Do this once or twice a week.
