KEY INGREDIENTS & THEIR BENEFITS

• Tomato Pulp: Packed with vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K, tomatoes can speed skin turnover– healing acne scars and help clear the pores (1). The natural acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals found in tomatoes also have great cleansing properties that remove makeup build up, dirt, and dead skin cells and neutralize oily areas of the face (2). Rich in lycopene, a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties that helps protect skin from environmental assaults helping rejuvenate the skin, repair cells and fight reddening of the skin. Its astringent property helps control sebum and oil production in skin (3).

• Strawberry Pulp: Rich in ellagic acid, the juice of strawberries plays a vital role in lightening skin. Ellagic acid also aids in inhibiting the destruction of collagen which might otherwise lead to wrinkle formation (4). Strawberries have a higher concentration of alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) helpful in exfoliating off the dead skin cells, cleansing the pores and tightening the skin (4). The abundance of vitamin C in strawberries nourish and remove the excess oil on the skin and work as a natural toner and moisturizer. It’s anti-inflammatory compounds helps treat under-eye puffiness and dark circles.

• Aloe Vera Gel: An antipruritic (relives or prevents itching), it’s a great way to hydrate, moisturize and rejuvenate the skin and increase skin elasticity through collagen and elastin repair (5). Aloevera have also been shown to have antibacterial properties against P. Acnes bacteria. (To learn further benefits of aloe vera, CLICKHERE).

• Cedarwood Essential Oil: Protects skin pores from letting in dust or any harmful microbes into the body, which lead to acne and skin infections. Cedarwood oil is also effective for tightening the facial skin and giving it a youthful appearance (6).

• Palmarosa Essential Oil: Cytophylactic in nature, palmarosa promotes the growth of cells and the recycling of cellular matter helping repair the damages done to the body by aging, wounds and various other factors (7). It helps moisturizes the skin, while balancing the hydration levels relieving inflammation and certain other symptoms of dehydration. It balances production of sebum, to keep the skin supple and elastic and is valuable for use with acne, dermatitis, preventing scarring, rejuvenating and regenerating the skin, as well as fighting minor skin infections (8).

• Peppermint Essential Oil: Peppermint oil contains menthol, which is good for the skin because it creates a cooling sensation (9). Furthermore, it nourishes dull skin and improves the texture of oily or greasy skin. While peppermint oil has calming effects on skin inflammation, it’s anti-microbial properties help cure acne naturally (10).

Part of the men's skincare series, the soap free tomato face wash is orange in color, liquid in consistency with a pulpy texture and a woody fragrance to it due to cedarwood essential oil.

Packed with tomato extracts, the face wash helps soothe skin damage and, blended with essential oils that are natural moisturizers, keep skin soft, supple, and healthy inside and out. I have used this several times after my gym and have noticed it to boost radiance, smooth, and moisturize skin.
