Cucumber has always been considered effective for our skin. What’s in the Cucumber that makes it so?
The Cucumber has the ability to fight age damage and smooth the skin of the face. Using Cucumber masks or even just laying Cucumber pieces on the face can yield great results.
The Cucumber is rich in proteins, lipids, vitamin C and a wide range of minerals. The Cucumber has storage properties and therefore it also preserves moisture. It is also known that the Cucumber is able to soothe irritated and inflated skin. Cucumber is effective in removing the dead skin cells and keeping the skin fresh and young.
The Cucumber is quite similar in its qualities to the Aloe Vera plant, and like Aloe Vera Cucumber has the ability to heal wounds in the body. The difference between Aloe Vera and Cucumber is that the Cucumber has an excellent smell.
