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).
The tomato face wash comes in a plastic bottle
with flip top lid in 30, 60 & 120 mL formats.
To use, squeeze
some product into your hands and massage onto dampened skin before rinsing it
off with tepid water.
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.
Perfect for all
skin types, this tomato based facial moisturizer will hydrate, remove tan,
soothe, deeply nourish and is made to restore lackluster skin that is in need
of extra nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants.
