Is it good to use cucumber slices on your face regularly?

Female friends all like to apply some facial masks to maintain their skin, because facial masks are a kind of skin care product that can achieve a good moisturizing effect on the skin, and its moisturizing effect is also very obvious. However, in daily life, some women also like to use fruits or vegetables to make homemade facial masks on their faces. For example, cucumber is a common vegetable used to make facial masks. But if you often use cucumber slices on your face, is it good for your facial skin?

not good. Applying cucumber slices on the face has a certain whitening effect. The principle is to supplement vitamin C, water, etc., but it is not completely suitable for everyone. It is recommended that you first need to understand whether you are allergic to cucumbers. Secondly, you don’t need to apply it every day. Twice a week is enough. You need to pay attention to keeping your face clean, keep a good mood, and pay attention to rest.

1. Cucumber has a water content of 96%-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.

2. Unfortunately, applying cucumber slices on the face cannot fully play the above functions. 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.

3. 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 its original state" 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.

4. 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.
