3. Apply the Mask:

4. Rinse Off:

Important Tips:
- Test for Sensitivity: Always do a patch test before applying the mask to your face to avoid any irritation.
- Sun Protection: Use sunscreen during the day after applying any products containing natural acids, as these can make skin more sun-sensitive.
- Frequency: Start with once a week and monitor your skin’s response. Overuse may irritate some skin types.

This natural mask featuring tomato and red onion can offer antioxidants and mild brightening effects, though results may vary. Consistent use may lead to a more even skin tone over time, but it is not a substitute for anti-aging treatments or professional skincare products. Enjoy this DIY as a gentle addition to your skincare routine!
