Cucumber is Great For Skin Care
Cucumber has been used as an ingredient for beauty products since long. However even in its natural raw form, it can be used in number of ways for enhancing beauty.
Anti Sunburn :
Cucumber helps to greatly relive the sunburn, from the face, and body skin. Just apply cucumber juice on the sunburnt skin, or simply rub cucumber slices. This is very soothing for the skin and instantly gives relief to sunburnt skin. Mix some aloe vera gel in cucumber juice and use on sunburnt skin. It will be an even more efficient treatment.
Mild Skin Toner:
Cucumber also acts as a gentle toner for all skin type. Since it is mild, it is suitable for irritated, sensitive skin, and skin which is struggling with acne. You can take some cucumber juice and, with the help of a cotton pad, apply the juice on the face, or you can directly rub a thin cucumber slice on the face to reap the cucumber astringent properties.
Fades Dark Circles:
Cucumber is a wonderful, natural remedy, to relive and fade the dark circles under the eyes. Apply cucumber juice, mixed with few drops of almond oil, every night, before going to sleep. This helps brighten the under-eye area and lighten the dark pigmentation, effectively.
Puffy Eyes:
Cucumber juice, or cucumber slices, can also be used to treat puffy eyes. Your eyes can be puffy from any reason but the solution is cucumber slices. Either, soak two cotton pads, with cucumber juice, or take two cucumber slices and put them over your eye. Relax for 15-20 minutes. It will significantly decrease the puffiness from the eyes.
Complexion:
Apply cucumber juice, with some lemon juice, on the face, at night, and wash with plain water in the morning. This natural treatment is extremely helpful in lightening oily skin
