2. Tomato Astringent

Tomato juice is a natural astringent, and it’s a great follow-up to washing your face. Just grab a slice of fresh tomato and rub it on your face. Let the juice sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with warm water and a wash cloth. You can use this astringent daily after washing your face or after you shower.

A daily astringent can help you beat breakouts, but once in a while it’s nice to use a mask to deep clean your pores.
