If you want your face to look radiant, or if you've got sunburn or acne marks, tomatoes can help. They've got properties that can really make a difference. And if you've been out in the sun too long and got a tan you don't want, tomatoes can help with that too.

Ever dealt with dark arms and legs because of harsh weather? Tomatoes can come to the rescue there too! Here are some easy ways to use tomatoes to get flawless hands and legs:

- Slice up a tomato and rub it on your skin. The juice can help lighten dark spots and even out your skin tone.
