The benefits of cucumber in beauty!

Cucumber can be transformed with its proper use into a valuable cosmetic.
A cucumber contains dietary fiber, folate, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, calcium, protein, fat, carbohydrates, iron, phosphorus, potassium, sugars, vitamin B3, vitamin B5, magnesium, zinc, manganese and silicon.
Its juice is beneficial for the skin.

Uses:
• For swollen and tired eyelids: Freshly cut slices of cucumber on the tired eyelids for 10 minutes rest the eyes.
• In mild sunburns: Cool your skin with fresh cucumber juice to speed up the healing of the burn.
• In children's fever: Cucumber juice quickly quenches thirst and stimulates the child's body.
• Face mask for normal-combination skin:
Skin preparation: Rub the inside of the cucumber peel on the facial area.
Preparation of the mask: Grate the cucumber, add an egg white and a few drops of lemon and mix the mixture well.
Application: Apply the mask on your face for about 10-20 minutes and then rinse well. (It is good to apply the mask in the afternoon or evening, because lemon is a photosensitizing substance and the skin should not be exposed to the sun immediately afterwards.)
• Face mask for dehydrated skin:
Apply a rich layer of cucumber mask to the skin of your face, neck and décolleté. (trade mask)
Application: Apply to the face a clean gauze, which you will have previously soaked in green tea. On top of the gauze, place long, narrow slices of fresh cucumber, covering the eyes as well. Press the slices lightly from time to time to release their juice. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes.
• Face mask for normal-dry skin:
For effective treatment of dry skin, use the juice of half a cucumber by mixing it with 2-3 spoons of oat flakes. Let the flakes soak in the juice and wear the mask for about 15 minutes.
• Neck mask for normal-dry skin:
Place fresh cucumber slices on your neck and wrap a thin towel tightly around it for about 2 hours. This method is considered a very good natural solution for reducing neck wrinkles.

Do not forget that you should not keep the masks you make yourself for more than 12 hours.
