Among the many benefits of cucumber, it works to moisturize, soften and relax the skin. It helps prevent water retention and reduces puffiness, giving skin a break from irritation. It is even effective in treating sunburn! I’m sure the phrase ‘As Cool As Cucumber’ makes more sense to you now.

Ingredients

a cucumber
blender
bowl

Preparation

The key to creating a great cucumber face mask is to start by storing it in the refrigerator. A few hours in the fridge allows the cucumber to chill.

Next, the appearance of the application depends entirely on the preferences. You can cut the cucumber into slices and put them on your face or you can grate the cucumber and apply it on your dry skin.

Another option is to take the cucumber and place it in a blender creating a kind of paste. This option is trickier as the cucumber will slide onto your face, but hey, whatever falls off your face can be used to create a refreshing cucumber drink.

Make sure to avoid the eye area when applying the cucumber face mask. I usually put the homemade mask on for about 20-30 minutes, which gives me a good excuse to go to bed too.

Once you’re done, wash off the mask with cold water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

Last but not least, apply moisturizer or a few drops of olive oil which will help lock in moisture.

Now, that wasn’t that hard, was it? By creating his own mask, he has not only saved money, but also managed to use vegetables that were not used. The best thing though is that with this whole process you end up getting a bit of ‘ME’ time, which is essential.
