Cucumber

• Reduces Swelling:

  Studies have shown that cucumbers have the ability to reduce swelling and puffiness in the skin.This is especially true for those who are running off of a couple hours of sleep and start to notice dark, puffy under eye.

• Aids in Acne-Prone Skin:

  Cucumbers are a mild astringent which could help to cleanse skin and tighten pores. This may help to reduce breakouts.

• Helps Combat Premature Aging:

  According to studies, cucumbers contain both vitamin C and folic acid. Vitamin C has the ability to stimulate cell growth, and folic acid aids in fighting off toxins of the environment that can make your skin look tired or prematurely aged. Combining these two ingredients can help your skin look firmer and healthier.

• Provides a Base for Hydration:

  Cucumbers are made up of 96 percent water. Along with water, cucumber juice can hydrate and soothe your skin when mixed with other ingredients such as honey or aloe.
