What are the advantages and disadvantages of using cucumber on the face

99% of women know that cucumbers can not only be eaten, but also used for beauty. But if you use the wrong method, it will not only fail to make your skin firm and moist, but may make your skin worse and worse. What's more, the wrong method I mentioned is indeed the method used by many women nowadays. Why is this? What is the correct method? Today I will tell you.

Cucumber has a water content of 96% to 98% and is rich in vitamin E and cucumber enzyme. It can refine pores, promote metabolism, and dilate skin capillaries. This is why it is used as the main ingredient in many skin care products. Unfortunately, applying cucumber slices on your face does not perform the above functions well. Because there is a dew-like sticky substance on the cut surface of the freshly cut cucumber slices, which hinders the skin's absorption of the cucumber's effective ingredients. If you don't apply any skin care products after washing your face and directly apply cucumber slices on your face, it will only cause your skin to become tight, dry and wrinkled. In addition, many fruits and vegetables, including cucumbers, may increase skin moisture in a short period of time when applied directly to the face, but will be "returned to their original form" after 10 minutes, which means that the moisture is not absorbed. If used for a long time, the dehydrated and tight face will develop various problems such as dryness, wrinkles, darkening of skin tone, etc.

The truly effective way to use cucumber for beauty care is to squeeze the juice and mix it with honey, milk, etc. and apply it on your face. But compared to fruit and vegetable hydrating masks, the most effective way to replenish water is to drink water. You should drink 250 ml of water every day after getting up early, at 10 a.m., 3 p.m., and 1 hour before going to bed to ensure adequate water in the body. You can also add some lemon to the water, which is rich in vitamin C and is very effective in maintaining skin elasticity.

It turns out that the traditional method of applying a facial mask using cucumber cuts is wrong and cannot achieve any beauty effect at all. Now you know that the beauty effect can only be fully exerted after squeezing the juice and mixing it with the milk or honey we often drink.
