8 Special Beauty Tips Using Cucumbers

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but it never hurts to find out some secret beauty tips that top models use when it comes to using cucumbers as one of their ingredients. In this article, I am going to show you some ways that cucumbers can help benefit your skin and make you look and feel beautiful:

#1. Cucumbers can naturally tone your skin-Do you have a dull, greasy skin complexion? Cucumbers contain cooling properties and can help improve your tone by cleansing your skin. Simply extract some cucumber juice and place it all over your face and neck gently. Leave it on your skin for about 30 minutes and then rinse it off with some cold water. Cucumber juice is also good for keeping your pores clean.

#2. Cucumbers can lighten your skin-Are you looking for a gentle skin bleach? Then try some cucumbers. Just mix in some cucumber juice along with some lemon juice and apply it to your face and neck. Leave it on your skin for about 15 minutes and then rinse it off completely with some fresh, cold water. If you are wanting some great results, then do this regularly.

#3. Cucumbers can hydrate dry skin-Do you have some dry skin in areas that will not maintain moisture? I know that I personally have problems with dry skin on both of my elbows and on the side of my right leg due to psoriasis. Many times it is very difficult keeping the dry skin in those areas constantly moisturized. If you utilize cucumber juice mixed with yogurt, this will assist you in hydrating your skin and relieving dryness. It isn't a cure for psoriasis but it can help alleviate the symptoms.

#4. Cucumbers can help relieve sunburned skin-Did you get sunburned after your last vacation this summer or perhaps while you were pulling weeds in the flower garden? If you mix cucumber juice with milk, it can help relieve and soothe your sunburned skin. I'm not sure if it's the coolness of the milk and cucumber juice combined or it's something in the cucumber juice alone that helps relieve the heat of the burnt skin helping to lower the temperature. But anyway, it's great for sunburns.

#5. Cucumbers can reduce eye puffiness-Are your eyes a little puffy after spending an evening without sleep? Then, place a fresh cucumber slice on each eye and rest for about 15 minutes. Cucumbers are great for reducing eye puffiness as well as water retention. It’s also helpful to minimize or get rid of dark circles around the eyes completely.

#6. Cucumbers can reduce freckles-Mix an equal quantity of cucumber juice, lemon juice and mint juice and apply it to your freckle areas on your skin. This mixture will help you in reducing freckles.

#7. Cucumbers will help prevent skin wrinkles-Mix together 2 Tbsp. of cucumber juice, 1 tsp. of lemon juice and one egg white and apply it on your face and neck for about 15 minutes. Rinse well. This mixture if applied regularly will help you from getting skin wrinkles.

#8. Cucumbers can help you grow hair-Did you know that cucumber juice can help promote hair growth? Just apply some on your scalp and leave it in your hair for about 15 minutes. Then gently rinse it out with a good shampoo.
