You can even use it on your arms (as they get exposed to sun and prone to tan). Allow the paste to be on your face at least for an hour. If you are a person who have no time to concentrate so much, you can simply apply and do your regular work like getting ready for office. After an hour, you can wash off. This process you need to do for at least three months to find the difference.

In this festival, people throw tomatoes at each other. Although the history tells tomatoes were hurled by miscreants to mark a protest. But people who received tomatoes on their faces, instead of feeling hurt, felt refreshed. And it was apparently reported that these people used tomatoes regularly for feeling refreshed.
