Tomatoes are a great source of vitamin A, B and C; potassium and magnesium; and valuable antioxidants. The high acid content in both the milk and tomatoes gives this cleansing lotion a gentle peeling action.

This recipe works wonders and cleanses oily and combination skins.

Make sure to test the lotion on the inside arm or wrist, for any possible allergic reactions before using on the face.

1 medium very ripe tomato
5 fl. oz fresh whole milk
bottled or spring water

Process the tomato, using a blender. Strain through a fine sieve and discard the pulp. Add the tomato juice to an equal amount of milk. Store in a covered container or bottle in the refrigerator.

Apply to the face and neck, using cotton pads, once or twice a day. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse with bottled or spring water and pat dry.
