How ’bout this:

For a skin softening facial that will remove dead cells and restore the
acid balance of your skin, try this tomato astringent scrub.  Mix up to 3
tablespoons tomato juice with 1/8 cup of granulated sugar until it has
the consistency of frosting.  Pat the mixture onto your face and rub with
gentle, circular motions.  Rinse and pat dry.  Potatoes can make you
beautiful too!  Puffy skin under your eyes?  Cut 6 thin slices of
potatoes.  With a washcloth and cool water, moisten the skin around the
eyes.  Lie down, place three slices of potato over each eye and fold the
damp washcloth over them to hold them in place.  Rest for 10 minutes. 
When you get up, your skin will be tighter and feel much cooler.
