Tomato is a humble kitchen ingredient packed with powerful nutrients that work wonders for both skin and hair. Rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, biotin, potassium, and lycopene, tomatoes help fight free radical damage, promote healthy skin cells, and nourish the scalp naturally. Their natural astringent and antioxidant properties make them especially effective in controlling excess oil, reducing acne, tightening pores, and improving overall skin texture.

When it comes to hair care, tomato helps maintain a healthy scalp by balancing pH levels, reducing dandruff, and strengthening hair roots. Its vitamins and minerals boost blood circulation in the scalp, promoting hair growth and adding natural shine. Easy to use and chemical-free, tomato is an excellent DIY beauty ingredient for those looking for simple, effective, and affordable remedies for glowing skin and healthy hair.
