In natural foods, there are many that have the effect of nourishing the skin and eliminating freckles, and tomatoes are one of them. Tomatoes are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and are known as the "warehouse of vitamin C".
Vitamin C can effectively reduce the formation of melanin, making the skin fair and shiny. Drinking a cup of tomato juice with a small amount of cod liver oil every day can make the complexion rosy. If the skin has acne, freckles, melasma, or sweat spots, first cleanse the face, then apply tomato juice to the face, leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, and rinse with clean water.
Alternatively, mix a tablespoon of glycerin with tomato juice to wash the face, 2-3 times a day, for 10 minutes each time, then rinse with clean water and apply some moisturizer. This can make the skin fair and tender, and reduce dark spots. It is especially effective for dry skin. You can also apply moisturizer on the cleansed face, then place a few slices of tomato on it, and wash the face with cool milk after 30 minutes. This can make the facial skin delicate and fair.
Lemons and cucumbers are also natural foods that can be used to protect the skin and eliminate freckles. Lemons contain rich sugars and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, as well as vitamins B1, B2, vitamin C, niacin, and other nutrients, which can prevent and eliminate skin pigmentation.
Cucumbers contain rich potassium salts and a certain amount of carotene, vitamin C, B vitamins, sugars, proteins, as well as calcium, iron, phosphorus, and other inorganic salts. Rubbing the face or hands with cucumber, or using cucumber slices as a facial mask, can effectively reduce wrinkles and keep the skin tender.
Using a mixture of lemon and cucumber juice for skincare can also help eliminate freckles and whiten the skin. The method is to apply several layers of lemon and cucumber juice on the cleansed face, leave it on for 40 to 50 minutes, then rinse with clean water, and apply moisturizer. Continuous application for 20 days will yield results. Additionally, people with oily or combination skin can regularly use a mixture of milk and lemon juice to wipe their face, which also has a whitening effect on the skin.
