Recommended for normal and oily skin types.

Ingredients

• 1 medium very ripe tomato

• Fresh whole milk

• Bottled or spring water

Method

Juice or blend the tomato until it is pure liquid. Strain the mixture through a piece of muslin. Add the tomato juice to an equal amount of fresh milk (i.e. 1 cup tomato juice to 1 cup of milk). Pour into a bottle, or spritzer and keep in the fridge no longer than five days.

This can be used twice a day – ideally leave it on for around five minutes before rinsing off to help remove dead skin cells.

TURN BACK TIME

If you’re over the age of 30 or have dry skin, then a cream-based cleanser is best. You’ll notice the difference immediately as your skin soaks up the excess moisture. Even if your skin is oily, don’t shy away from creamy moisturisers. According to skin guru Zoe Foster Blake, oil attracts oil, so using oil-based cleansers will actually removes the excess slick, not adds to it.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp thick dairy cream (chilled from the fridge)

• 2 drops rose essential oil

Method

Mix the essential oil into the cream until combined. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Combine and use as you would your usual cleanser. Massage well, firmly pressing the lotion into your skin in an upward motion. (Tip: begin cleansing at your chest area and work your way upwards. This helps to promote good circulation.) Remove with a damp cloth or wipe, following with a splash of cool water.
