There’s a reason you constantly see people
in spa ads with slices of cucumber under
their eyes, smiling while they relax in a
large towel.
This vegetable is truly a gift from Mother
Nature to our bodies!
In addition to being good for your physical
health when consumed, cucumbers are saturated
with antioxidants that can do wonders for
your skin when applied topically.
In some of my previous blogs, I’ve mentioned
that antioxidants are perfect for reducing skin
irritation. Which is why you should add
cucumbers to your natural skincare routine.
Simply take a few slices of chilled cucumber
and place them on the part of your skin that’s
irritated for about 5-10 minutes. It might take
a few applications. And of course, please
consult your physician for any long-term skin
irritation.
If you’re one of the millions of people in this
world who suffer from allergies, then you should
absolutely add cucumbers to your natural skincare
routine!
With seasonal allergies often comes puffy eyes, and
all you need to do is apply a cucumber slice to each
of your eyelids and wait about 5-10 minutes. Keep
your eyes closed, too.
Then remove the slices and massage any cucumber juice
into your skin. Not only will your eyes look more
refreshed, but you’ll be amazed at how much better
they feel!
Another great benefit of cucumbers is that they’re
loaded with water, which is perfect for reducing
swelling.
Some people suffer from swollen ankles, and while
water and elevating your feet will often help, it’s
also a good idea to apply some chilled cucumber
slices to them as well.
Keep them elevated and wait about 5-10 minutes,
just like the other home remedies, and then
massage any cucumber juice into your ankles.
This is especially good if you’re a woman who
suffers from water retention during her menstrual
cycle. Consider doing it more often during those
times of the month, if necessary.
These are just a few ways to use refreshing
cucumbers as part of your natural skincare routine.
In next week's blog, I'll discuss the benefits of
turmeric as part of your natural skincare routine!

Love your posts!
What are your thots on rosacea? Or maybe that’s one you’re planning to post! My girls & I all have it. 😵💫 I’m surprised, as my parents didn’t! So we all battle it. I do use Norwex face cloth gently. I use a smidge of Emu oil on the redness. Then Emu special stuff for under eyes & their moisturizer on face along with organic Arian oil. My skin looks fine, just know I’ll never get over rosacea. I also know which foods trigger a flare up.
We had a great Easter with 20 at our house!
Take care!
