3. Tomato Lemon Face Mask

The acids in the lemon and the tomato make this mask great for stopping breakouts before they start. Because its on the acidic side, you’d definitely want to test it on your skin before applying the mask to your whole face. You also want to make sure to wash this off thoroughly before going into the sun. Lemon juice amplifies the sun’s effects on your skin, and you can burn quickly if you spend time in the sun with lemon juice on your skin.
