Tomatoes. Some hate these red, under appreciated fruits/veggies, however, there is more than meets the skin of this juicy crimson delight. Whether it is through the vein of ketchup, raw to compliment a main course or my personal Southern favorite, fried green tomatoes, almost everyone inevitably has tasted a tomato. However, new studies have shown that the lycopene found in tomatoes can also be good for the skin. I recently read that applying a undiluted tomato paste as a mask, once a week for 5 minutes, can actually improve your skin. Apparently, tomatoes are number one when it comes to anti-aging products. Another beauty tip of the friendly tomato: restoring natural hair color after multiple trips to a chlorinated pool. Simply use undiluted tomato juice, apply to hair, wait five minutes and rinse. Who knew that there was more to tomatoes than just ketchup?
