Many people like to use cucumber facial mask. Cucumber facial mask is a very popular and beloved skin care and beauty method. Applying cucumber slices is very hydrating, natural and safe. I believe many girls have done it. So, what are the correct methods and benefits of applying cucumber on the face?

The correct method and benefits of cucumber facial mask

Wash the fresh cucumbers and cut into thin slices. Then apply a hot towel to your cleansed face to open your pores. Then place the cucumber slices on your face one by one. If it is difficult to stick on the nose, you can make it into a semicircular shape. It can be removed after about 10 minutes. If you do this every day, it can clean the dead skin cells in the pores of your face, hydrate and moisturize your skin, and also remove acne marks on your face, leaving your skin refreshed.

Benefits of cucumber facial mask

Applying cucumber slices on your face can whiten and moisturize your skin. After applying cucumber slices on your face, your skin will become cool and comfortable, and your skin will be hydrated, clear and shiny. Cucumber can promote body metabolism and blood circulation. It has a high water content and also contains skin care ingredients such as vitamin C, B vitamins and trace minerals. Applying cucumber on the face can moisturize the skin and smooth out wrinkles. Cucumber can also help eliminate dark circles and some spots on the skin, making the skin cleanser and whiter. People who sweat frequently are also suitable for using cucumber to apply on the face, which can effectively regulate the skin. If your skin is prone to dryness and dehydration, after cleansing, cut the cucumber into thin slices and use it to apply on your face. This can replenish the moisture lost by the skin and let the skin be full of moisture, so that the skin will be hydrated and tender.

Precautions for using cucumber on face

1. It must be done at night

Because the molecules in fresh fruits and vegetables are very large and cannot be fully absorbed by the skin, if you want to use cucumber as a facial mask, you must do it at night and only use it for a maximum of 15 minutes. Moreover, cucumbers are photosensitive vegetables. If you cook them during the day, they will get darker, and the effect will be counterproductive, causing sun spots.

2. Correct steps for applying cucumber on face

Cut a fresh cucumber into thin slices, wipe your face carefully with a hot towel, then lie on your back and apply the cucumber slices to your face one by one (you can also squeeze the cucumber into juice and apply it on your face). For areas that are difficult to stick to, such as the nose, you can cut a cucumber into half slices and stick them there. Keep it on for about 10 minutes, then wipe your face clean with a hot towel. If you insist on doing the cucumber beauty method once a day, it can make your skin softer and smoother, eliminate dirt accumulation in the pores, and make your skin look brand new. Note that after applying the mask on your face, just rinse it with clean water.

3. Frequency of use should be considered

Generally speaking, it is okay to apply cucumber on your face every day, because cucumber juice, like cold boiled water, is easily absorbed and penetrated by the human body. However, there are exceptions to everything, and it depends on the person. Some people have a thinner skin stratum corneum, so they are not suitable for daily facial applications. If you use it every day, it will cause allergies, which will be counterproductive. Therefore, no matter how good something is, it should be used in moderation. I personally recommend applying cucumber on your face once every three days, or it is better to apply diluted honey on your face once a week.
