Yes, there can be side effects from rubbing tomato on the face, primarily due to its acidity.
Here's a breakdown of potential side effects:
-
Skin Irritation: Tomatoes contain acids, which can irritate sensitive skin.
-
Allergic Reactions: Some individuals are allergic to tomatoes, and topical application can trigger a reaction.
-
Symptoms of Irritation/Allergy: These may include:
- Rash
- Itchiness
- Redness
- Burning sensation
If you experience any of these symptoms after applying tomato to your face, discontinue use immediately and wash the area thoroughly with water. It is always recommended to test a small area of skin first (patch test) before applying tomato to your entire face.
