Toe-may-toe / Toe-mah-toe

So today as i was running about town, i happened to drop by an indian store and noticed a "tomato" soap bar for whitening. i was tempted to get it...as i usually am when i see anything to do with "skin whitening" but i decided not to and to do some research first.

so i found out that i dont have to buy a bar of tomato soap for that. i could just use a slice of tomato instead. anyways this is what i found out:
Tomatoes contain Vitamin A, C, and Potassium. Tomatoes demonstrate high level content of lycopene that makes dull skin clear and blemish free, protects the skin from free radicals, and boosts the skin’s natural SPF (Sun Protection Factor). Tomatoes also contain an acid content. The vegetable’s pulp and juice contain acid that proves its capacity to act as skin lighteners making it as a very effective natural skin lightening agent for underarm whitening of dark underarms.

How to make an underarm whitening tomato paste

• Chop the tomato into two equal halves. Rub the cut tomatoes on dark underarms using circular motion. Do this for about 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Repeat the treatment everyday.

it seems that regular application for over a period of 1 to 2 weeks will produce visible skin lightening effects. so now im really curious.. should i try it? just for a week/two?? OK. no harm right? i shall start tomato rubbing today! :D

wish i could fast fwd to next week to see the results!
