Reasons these Ingredients Work so Well
① Tomato Juice
The juice from a tomato is high in vitamin A and vitamin C. That’s super healthy for your skin. These two vitamins are potent antioxidants with vitamin C playing an important role in the production of collagen.

Vitamin A is no slacker either. Besides protecting cells, one form of vitamin A is retinal. You have probably read that name on fancy facial products that cost a fortune. Retinal, retinol, and retinoic acid are other names for it. It helps stimulate skin cell production and fibroblasts. Those are the cells that aid in creating deeper layers of firm, healthy skin.

Tomato juice also is a natural astringent and can help make pores look smaller. It is acidic nature from ten different types of acid in it. The two main types are citric acid and malic acid. These act as chemical exfoliants that help to lighten dark spots to achieve an overall lightening of the skin tone. Exfoliating is the removal of dead skin to reveal brighter, healthier skin cells beneath.

Skin cleanser. Apart from using tomatoes for the creation of a natural facial peel, you can easily make your tomato skin cleanser. The cleanser will regulate sebum production and shrink your pores – two effects that will contribute to the beautiful appearance of your skin and the brightening of your complexion.

② Lemon Juice
The juice from a lemon also exfoliates and is probably better known for this ability. It also helps bleach skin and brightens it. It tones oily skin while helping to clear acne because of its antibacterial properties.

The vitamin C in lemon juice is an antioxidant. Studies show that antioxidants also help lower the amount of melanin in the skin if you use it on a regular basis. Melanin is the pigment that makes your skin darker.

③ Raw Honey
Honey is not just healthy for your insides, but also for your skin! Honey is a humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture. That’s perfect for dry skin and helps keep skin moist and plump.

It has natural antibacterial properties to help clear acne and other skin conditions. It is loaded with antioxidants, and as you read previously, this aid blocks the production of melanin, but also give a boost to your skin health and slow aging.
