Is it effective to apply cucumber and tomato on the face?

Cucumbers and tomatoes are vegetables with relatively high nutritional value. Both of these foods can be eaten raw and taste very good. The nutrients in these two vegetables are almost the same. Now many people use them to apply on their faces and use them as facial masks. Can you explain what specific benefits they have for the skin? How should they be used in daily life to achieve the best effect?

Cucumber and tomato juice are good choices for facial mask, but I suggest you use cucumber and tomato juice separately, because cucumber and tomato have their own beauty effects.

First, let’s look at the beauty ingredients of cucumber. Cucumber is rich in vitamin C, amino acids, succinic acid, and contains a lot of water. It has good whitening, acne-removing and weight-loss effects when applied externally or taken internally. Cucumbers are rich in fiber and tender, and eating them can promote the excretion of toxins in the intestines. Eating cucumbers can also lower blood lipids. What is even more noteworthy is the beauty and skin care effect of cucumber. The succinic acid in cucumber can help lose weight. The cucumber enzyme in fresh cucumbers is a strong active biological enzyme that can effectively promote the body's metabolism, promote blood circulation, and achieve skin moisturizing and beauty.

Use green cucumbers for beauty care in summer. Cut the cucumber into long slices as thin as a cicada's wing and apply them on your face. Cucumber has the function of absorbing excess heat from the body and can also eliminate the feeling of heat in the skin, making the hot skin stable. At the same time, it can eliminate waste accumulated in the pores, remove brown spots, and make the skin more beautiful. It is especially suitable for people who sweat easily and often have small pimples on their faces.

Method: Cut a fresh cucumber into thin slices, wipe your face carefully with a hot towel first, then lie on your back and apply the cucumber to your face one by one. For areas that are difficult to apply, such as the nose, you can cut the cucumber into half a slice and apply it there. Keep it for about 10 minutes, and finally wipe your face clean with a hot towel. If you do the cucumber beauty method once a day, it can make your skin soft and smooth, eliminate dirt from the pores, and make your skin look brand new, achieving the effect of cleansing and beautifying the skin.

Generally, it should be done 15 to 30 minutes before going to bed, preferably 20 minutes. This way, the moisture can be fully absorbed into the skin and it is not easy to dissipate the moisture for a long time.

The skin is divided into five layers. The skin you can touch is the surface layer. The cucumber is only on the face for a while, and the moisturizing effect is minimal. Moreover, the content of VE in cucumber is also very small.

The above introduces the main benefits of facial masks using cucumber and tomato. I believe everyone will choose to try it, because many people attach great importance to skin problems. The pace of life nowadays is very fast, but skin problems are varied. Many people pursue good skin. In fact, eating more cucumbers and tomatoes in daily life will also be good, and the effect is similar.
