What are the benefits of cucumber facial mask

 In autumn and winter, the skin is particularly dehydrated and urgently needs hydration!
There are thousands of hydrating masks on the market, but my favorite is to apply cucumber slices~

It is safe and non-irritating, healthy and reliable. Not only does it save money, but after applying it on your face, you can eat the remaining cucumbers! But after applying it for three days, small red bumps appeared on my face. I went to the hospital and found out I had an allergy! The doctor said it was the cucumber that caused the problem! What’s going on! Look down!

What are the beauty benefits of cucumber:

1. Shrink pores: Cucumber slices can not only deeply clean pores, but also unclog pores and deeply moisturize.

2. Delicate skin: Cucumber contains good anti-wrinkle ingredients, which can effectively relieve fine lines.

3. Solve eye problems: Cut the cucumber into thin skins and apply them on the eyes to relieve eye fatigue and soothe the area around the eyes.

What are the minefields of cucumber beauty:

1. Cucumbers contain some acidic substances that can irritate the skin.

2. The vitamin C in cucumber is easily photolyzed, so do not expose to sunlight after applying it.

3. It can easily induce skin problems such as redness, itching, allergies, sun spots, pigmentation, etc. At the same time, the cucumber mask only needs to be used once every 2-3 days. The cucumber mask cannot be used as a sleeping mask because it has no moisturizing effect. Long-term application will absorb moisture from the skin.

4. Cucumbers do contain vitamin E and vitamin C which can whiten and rejuvenate the skin, but every 100g of cucumbers only contains 0.98mg of vitamin E and 9mg of vitamin C, both of which are far below the effective concentration and cannot be fully absorbed by the skin. Therefore, their whitening and rejuvenating effects are minimal. Moreover, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and is difficult to be absorbed by the skin.

What other fruits in life are easy to irritate the skin:

In life, we will make some homemade fruit and vegetable masks according to our preferences. Experts point out that the nutrients in fruits and vegetables have a large molecular weight, and most of them cannot break through the stratum corneum of human skin! Not only is it difficult to guarantee the effect, it may also cause facial darkening, allergies, redness, swelling, infection, and inflammation. People with sensitive constitutions should never apply fresh melon juice on their faces! To avoid danger!

The editor will tell you about some fruits and vegetables that may irritate the skin and have a negative impact on the skin:

1. Lemon

Lemon has many benefits such as antibacterial and whitening, but it contains a photosensitive substance that can cause phototoxic reactions. If it is used as a facial mask and then exposed to ultraviolet rays, it may induce irritant dermatitis, and in severe cases it can cause peeling, blisters and even pigmentation.

2. Tomatoes

Tomatoes can be used to exfoliate the face, but too much lycopene can cause the collagen in the face to be broken down.

3. Egg white

Egg white can tighten the skin and have a lifting effect, but the salmonella it contains is dangerous to the skin, so try not to apply raw egg white on your face.

4. Potatoes

Potatoes are rich in vitamins, which can promote the growth of skin cells, bleach subcutaneous melanin and prevent the occurrence of dermatitis. However, potatoes are photosensitive plants and contain irritating and itchy substances. People with sensitive, fragile or thin skin must use them with caution.

Kind tips:

When you make your own fruit and vegetable facial masks in the future, be sure to check carefully first. The best way to maximize the beauty benefits of fruits and vegetables is actually to eat them!
