If your like me and exfoliate your skin way more than you should, here is a much more gentle natural alternative..Tomatoes!! Yes the tomatoes we eat. It is recommended we exfoliate our skin about 3 times a week to remove dead skin and clean out pores but over exfoliating can cause more harm than good, it removes the skins protective barrier and makes it much more prone to sensitivity. Over exfoliating my already sensitive skin made it more sensitive (if that's possible), so I looked into using less abrasive methods of exfoliating, this is when I came across tomatoes and their many benefits for skin. Tomatoes contain vitamin C which is great for brightening dull skin and acne scarring, they also contain vitamin A which is needed for healthy skin, and my favourite there great for exfoliating skin and leave it feeling super smooth.
Here's how I use tomatoes to exfoliate:
1. Cut a thin slice of tomato
2. Rub it on clean skin avoiding the eye area
3. You can wash it off straight away with warm water, or leave it on as a treatment for 10 minutes.
4.Splash you face with cool water and pat dry
You should be left with a noticeably brighter and smoother complexion :)
Good luck
