Cucumber Beauty Recipes for Younger Skin

For my skin care I always prefer homemade face packs. Main reason is that homemade face packs are prepared from natural ingredients which are available very easily at home. These face packs help to get glowing and fairer skin naturally. Cucumber is one of my favorite beauty ingredients. It is also a major source of silica which acts as an anti-wrinkle component and makes skin look younger.

I use cucumber mainly for sunburn. It has excellent mild-bleaching quality. It hydrates and highly soothes my skin and gives a natural glowing skin. Cucumber is great for eyes too. The best parts of these face packs are that they have no side effects for skin.

Mainly I use cucumber as toner, dark spots remover, skin pigmentation, under-eye puffiness and dark circles. Today in DIY I’m going to share my three simple Homemade Cucumber face pack for all skin.

Cucumber wrinkle treatment

The most common and easy way to removing under eye wrinkle and dark circles is to apply cucumber juice or slice. Take a piece of cotton and soak it in Cucumber juice, and place them around eyes. Some time I mix few drops of honey with cucumber juice. Well, honey making it a wonderful addition to the cucumber.
