CUCUMBER AND ITS BENEFITS TO YOUR FACE

      Most of us do not like cucumbers and some of us eat it with or without the skin, while some remove the seeds. Which ever way you enjoy your cucumber it is good for your body both internal and external. A CUCUMBER smoothens and softens the skin and it can get you relaxed in no time.It also takes care of an irritated skin, because it is an antioxidant and an anti-irritant which helps to clam irritated skin e.g sunburns, sensitive skin. Also it is perfect for oily skin.

      It easily reduces the appearance of the dark circles around the eye. With long term usage it would fade it out. (patience is the key). The richness of antioxidant and silica in cucumber rejuvenates the skin, this could be done by placing two slices of cucumber on your eyes and relax your head so the slices of cucumber would be in place.

OR Dip two cotton pads into cucumber juice which could be a bit chilled or lukewarm or just normal, if you can make a paste, that would also be good. Cucumber also reduces puffiness. It produces a large amount of ascorbic acid, if placed under the eyes for 25mins to 30mins it can decrease water retention.

       CUCUMBERS can also help to improve complexion not for bleaching  or toning oooh! they improve the appearance of your face and as always, rejuvenates the face. Cucumber juice mixed with fresh lemon juice (lime juice can be used but in a little quantity so as not to dry out your skin), and applied as a facial mask for 30mins to 35mins or as desired,it would fade out blemish,scars or pigmentation. It tightens the pores, by just adding to the above mixture apple cider vinegar,honey or aloe vera gel or just use it alone.

         CUCUMBER contains the same level of hydrogen as our skin, which makes it easier for it to mask all the problem areas on our skin.

Some of our primers and moisturizers  have natural extracts in them so when next you are shopping for facial care products, look out for it.
