Your hands go through a lot every day — washing, cleaning, exposure to sun and cold — all of which can make the skin dry, rough, and wrinkled over time. Luckily, you don’t need expensive creams to restore their softness and glow. With just Vaseline and tomato, you can create a simple, natural treatment that leaves your hands smooth, bright, and youthful again.
Why Vaseline and Tomato Work So Well Together
Vaseline – The Deep Moisturizer
Vaseline (petroleum jelly) forms a protective barrier on the skin that locks in moisture and prevents dryness. It also helps heal cracks, soften rough areas, and protect your hands from further damage.
- Deeply hydrates and repairs dry skin
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
- Protects against water loss and harsh weather
Tomato – The Natural Brightener
Tomato is rich in vitamin C, lycopene, and antioxidants, which help rejuvenate and brighten the skin. It gently removes dead cells, improves tone, and promotes a healthy glow.
- Lightens dark spots and uneven tone
- Firms the skin and minimizes wrinkles
- Refreshes tired, dull-looking hands
Together, these two ingredients create a nourishing hand mask that both softens and rejuvenates your skin naturally.
How to Make the Vaseline & Tomato Hand Treatment
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Vaseline
- 2 tablespoons fresh tomato pulp (from a ripe tomato)
Instructions:
- Scoop out the inside of a ripe tomato and mash it into a smooth pulp.
- Mix the pulp with Vaseline until you get a creamy texture.
- Apply the mixture generously to your hands, covering the back of the hands, fingers, and cuticles.
- Massage gently for 3–5 minutes in circular motions.
- Leave it on for 15–20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
(For very dry skin, you can wear cotton gloves overnight after applying a thicker layer — you’ll wake up with baby-soft hands!)
How Often to Use It
Use this mask 3–4 times per week for visible results. Within a few uses, you’ll notice your hands becoming:
- Softer and smoother
- Brighter and more even-toned
- Wrinkle-free and deeply moisturized
Extra Tips for Perfectly Soft Hands
- Always apply hand cream or Vaseline after washing your hands.
- Avoid harsh soaps — use mild or moisturizing ones.
- Exfoliate your hands once a week with sugar and olive oil to remove dead skin.
