Cyberpresse.ca reported that tomato concentrate is just as effective as anti-wrinkle creams, which are far more expensive.
More and more, studies are being conducted researching the cosmetic advantages of utilizing the properties found in food. In Europe and Japan, it was discovered that many people have benefitted from the use of food products on their skin.
In one study, British researchers gave one group of 10 volunteers 55 grams of tomato concentrate added to two tablespoons of olive oil to apply on the skin. The other group of 10 participants was not given olive oil.
In comparison, they found that those who used tomato concentrate were better protected from sun, and that their skin was richer in the protein collagen, which kept the skin firmer.
