Cucumber

When we think of cucumber and skincare, our mind first jumps to putting slices on the eyes during a facial. The reason this is done is not just because of the cooling properties that this vegetable possesses; it also has the same pH level as our skin, hence it helps to replenish the skin’s protective layer, get rid of darkness or dull skin, and also reduce swelling or puffiness.

Pro Tip: Take one cucumber and two to three tablespoons of yoghurt. Grind the cucumber to a paste first, and then mix well into the yoghurt. Apply this paste on your face and neck, and leave it on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with cold water. It`s just as good as getting an expensive treatment done at a salon, but with no chemicals.
