We pour tons of money into creams, toners, and masks, while the answer to our skin woes could be sitting on our counter, getting riper and riper.

Tomatoes can be a great (and seriously cheap) DIY fix for some skin problems.

If your skin looks overly oily or dull, try mashing up a ripe tomato with a fork.

Wash your face, then apply the mashed tomato.

Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water.

This is just more evidence that we should start gardening.

 Imagine if we could grow our food and our beauty products in our backyard?

We’d be the greenest gals around, and our wallets would be a little heavier, too.
