It sounds like you’re referencing a playful or popular myth, but in reality, there is no way for tomato and cornstarch—or any combination of ingredients—to reverse age or physically transform someone into a 16-year-old, regardless of their actual age.
That said, tomatoes and cornstarch are both sometimes used in skincare remedies, but for different reasons:
– **Tomato**: Rich in antioxidants, especially lycopene, it’s often praised for its potential to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots. Some people use it in masks for its natural exfoliating and brightening effects.
– **Cornstarch**: Often used in DIY face masks, it can help to absorb oil, give a smooth texture, and may be used to reduce shine.
While these ingredients might contribute to healthy-looking skin, they won’t have any magical anti-aging powers to make you look like a teenager. The key to youthful skin is overall skincare, hydration, sun protection, and a balanced lifestyle.
