You say toe-may-toe...


Yep, more natural beauty info! Now, if you all want to try these suggestions from this week, remember that if you have a health food store in your area, you can buy organic!


Ok, so tomatoes! (Or toe-maaah-toes. However you like to say it!) Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A and C. Natural antioxidants! So, here are some great ways to use them on the outside:


1. Remove an overripe tomato's skin. Crush slightly in a blender , mix with 1 tsp of honey, and then spread on your face. Rinse off with warm water after 15 minutes. This is especially good for normal to oily skins as tomatoes contain oil absorbing acids and natural exfoliants and the honey has anti-bacterial properties.


2. Got a zit? Apply some organic tomato paste to it to absorb the oil and help speed recovery.


3. You can mix tomato juice and rosewater for a great toner in the t-zone!
