Source: The Commercial Appeal - August 25, 2002

2 fresh tomatoes
1 tablespoon peppermint leaves
1/2 tablespoon dried fresh yeast
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Boil the tomatoes in hot water, let cool and then peel the skin. Crush the tomatoes and remove the seeds. Add the remaining ingredients.

Apply to face for 10 minutes three times a week.

The pulp of a tomato aids the complexion, while lemon juice, which is used in cosmetic products, contains vitamin C and can act as a bleaching agent.
