Oily Skin

Tomato Yogurt Fresh Mask

Fresh feel for oily skin.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp fresh tomato pulp
  • 1 tbsp plain yogurt
  • tiny pinch sea salt

Why These Ingredients

  • Tomato adds a fresh, brightening-style fruit acid feel; keep the mask short and gentle.
  • Yogurt adds creaminess and contains naturally occurring lactic acid for a smoother-feeling rinse.
  • A tiny amount of sea salt adds a fresh clarifying feel, but it should stay minimal for comfort.

How to prepare

Mix 1 tbsp fresh tomato pulp, 1 tbsp plain yogurt, tiny pinch sea salt in a small clean bowl until smooth. Use immediately; do not store leftovers.

How to apply

Apply a thin even layer to clean skin, avoiding the eye area, lips and broken skin.

How long to leave on skin

Leave on for 5–10 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Frequency of use

Use 1–2 times per week. For sensitive skin or citrus/turmeric/salt recipes, start with once weekly.

Patch test note

Patch test on the inner arm for 24 hours before facial use. Stop immediately if stinging, redness or irritation appears.
