Hello, dear blog readers! I offer everyone, and especially lovers of homemade cosmetics, a very interesting topic - a tomato face mask. I’ve never heard of this, I knew about cucumber ones, but I heard about tomato ones for the first time from a friend. And I decided to test it - I really liked it, whitens, smoothes, refreshes. Then I started looking for information about its composition, especially the acidic one, because it clearly acted as a gentle peeling. But more on that a little later, but now some interesting facts about the vegetable itself.
The name "tomato" comes from Italian. "pomo d*oro" - "golden apple". Vegetables also have a second name - tomatoes. The word "tomato" comes from the Aztec name for this plant, "tomatl", via the French "tomate". From a botanist's point of view, tomatoes are classified as berries. But since 1893, the US Supreme Court unanimously recognized that they should be considered vegetables for customs duties.
The homeland of tomatoes is South America, where wild and semi-cultivated tomatoes are still found. Their first use as a seasoning was by the Aztecs. These vegetables appeared in Europe in the middle of the 16th century, and in Russia only in the 18th century. Currently, this vegetable crop is cultivated in many countries around the world. The first place in the world in terms of the volume of tomatoes grown is China, the second is India. Well, now let's move on to the composition!
Appearance of the product
The Korean company Tony Moly is distinguished by the interesting design of its products. Packaging for masks and creams is always original and eye-catching. So the box for the Tony MolyTomatox Magic White Massage Pack mask looks like a tomato. This is a translucent red plastic with a green leaf on top. On one side there is an attractive inscription - the name of the cosmetic product. On the opposite side is a sticker with the necessary information in Russian (composition, method of use).
Inside the box there is a funny jar - a tomato made of good quality plastic. Opens by unscrewing the top part. Inside there is a membrane for preserving the cream and a special spoon for applying cosmetics.
The cream is white in color and the texture resembles toothpaste or sour cream. The composition contains tiny particles. They will perform a slight peeling during massage movements. The cosmetic product does not form a dense layer on the face. The cream has another purpose - to use for massage, so the texture is not thick. Subtle notes of freshness are detected. This unobtrusive scent will appeal to those who do not like the smell of cosmetic products.
