What is the Yellow Claw Mask good for?

Cucumber is called by many names, such as cucumber, and many people call it green melon. There are many benefits to eating cucumbers. It can replenish a lot of water, vitamin C and dietary fiber, etc. It is very effective in treating constipation. In addition, people often add cucumber ingredients when making their own facial masks. This is because cucumber masks have the following benefits.

Function 1: Hydration and moisturizing

Fresh cucumbers contain about 90% water, which is high in water content. It has the function of hydrating and moisturizing, and can also whiten the skin. It is very effective for skin recovery after sun exposure in summer. When the hydrating and moisturizing mask is tightly attached to the surface of the skin, the evaporation and loss of moisturizing nutrients are reduced, resulting in a very effective moisturizing effect. When the mask hinders the secretion of sebum and the evaporation of sweat, the temperature of the skin surface rises, thereby promoting blood circulation. At this time, the moisturizing factors will spread deeper and wider, nourishing the keratinocytes that are "waiting to drink water".

What are the functions of cucumber mask

Tips for hydrating masks: Do not choose a peel-off type moisturizing mask, because the moisturizing ingredients will not be able to be peeled off after the mask is dry, so the mask that can be peeled off definitely does not contain moisturizing ingredients.

Function 2: Whitening and spot removal

Cucumber mask has the effect of removing spots and can eliminate dark circles under the eyes. Cucumber can absorb excess body heat and eliminate the feeling of heat in the skin, making the skin stable. At the same time, it can discharge 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. Cut a fresh cucumber into thin slices, wipe your face carefully with a hot towel, then lie on your back and apply the cucumber slices to your face one by one. For areas that are difficult to stick to, such as the nose, you can cut a cucumber into half slices and stick them there. Keep it on for about 10 minutes, then wipe your face clean with a hot towel. If you insist on doing the cucumber beauty method once a day, it can make your skin softer and smoother, eliminate dirt accumulation in the pores, and make your skin look brand new.

Before applying a whitening mask, first make sure your skin is moisturized. You can take a hot shower first to allow the skin to absorb more moisture, or apply a hot and wet towel on your face to moisturize the skin. This way, the effective whitening ingredients can be absorbed by the skin to the greatest extent and at the fastest speed, and can exert the greatest whitening effect.

Function 3: Remove acne marks

Homemade cucumber acne mask is different from acne products. Regular application of cucumber anti-acne mask can help accelerate skin metabolism and assist acne-damaged skin in self-repair. But please note that applying a facial mask is based on the premise that you are completely acne-free. If pimples keep popping up on your face or if the pimples are inflamed, you may need to use professional acne removal products first.
