If your hands feel dry, rough, or aged, this gentle combination of Vaseline and fresh tomato can help restore softness and smoothness naturally. Tomato brightens and nourishes the skin, while Vaseline locks in moisture and creates a protective barrier. Together, they work like a simple spa treatment you can do right at home.
Here’s exactly how to prepare and use this remedy.
Why Tomato Helps
Tomatoes contain:
- natural antioxidants
- mild natural acids
- vitamin C
These elements help:
- brighten the skin
- reduce the look of fine lines
- soften rough patches
- improve overall tone
Tomato juice is gentle and refreshing, making your hands feel rejuvenated.
Why Vaseline Works So Well
Vaseline (petroleum jelly):
- deeply moisturizes
- seals hydration into the skin
- restores the skin barrier
- protects your hands from dryness
This is especially helpful if you frequently wash your hands or use cleaning products.
How to Prepare the Vaseline + Tomato Treatment
Ingredients
- 1 ripe tomato
- 1 teaspoon Vaseline
- Optional: a few drops of olive oil for extra softness
Steps
- Extract the tomato juice:
Cut the tomato in half and squeeze out the fresh juice into a small bowl. - Mix gently:
Add 1 teaspoon of Vaseline to the tomato juice.
Stir until the mixture becomes creamy.
(If you want a richer treatment, add 2–3 drops of olive oil.) - Apply to your hands:
Massage the mixture onto clean hands for 2–3 minutes.
Make sure to cover your knuckles, fingertips, and the backs of your hands. - Let it sit:
Leave the mixture on for 10–15 minutes. - Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Your hands will already feel softer.
For Deep Overnight Softness
