Although results may be slow, organic skin care products are gentle on our skin and won't harm us in the long run. ## Skin Care Cucumbers are primarily made of water, they are a great way to hydrate the skin. Sustaining soft, smooth, and supple skin requires adequate hydration. Redness and irritation can be lessened by the cooling, soothing properties of cucumbers. Because it helps relieve the sting in the affected area, it is also frequently used to treat bug bites and sunburns. Because it will help fend off free radicals, which damage and age the skin, cucumber offers protective benefits. For people with oily or acne-prone skin, cucumbers' inherent astringent qualities can help constrict pores and regulate the production of excess oil. ![cucumber-5089995_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPMUHmUxoWPzh6GFSwaoPi61gMGfD1EWT7wH2Up4Bpsp6/cucumber-5089995_1280.jpg) [Source](https://pixabay.com/id/photos/ketimun-sayuran-mentimun-hijau-5089995/) ## Hair Care Since water makes up roughly 95% of a cucumber, eating one can help keep the scalp and hair hydrated. Cucumbers' anti-inflammatory qualities help calm the scalp and lessen problems like itching and dandruff. Free radical damage to hair is prevented by the antioxidants in cucumbers. Minerals and vitamins included in cucumbers nourish hair follicles and enhance blood flow to the scalp, both of which can encourage the growth of new hair. |Share at least one homemade remedy of cucumber in your daily routine either hair care or skin care & it steps as well. | |--| **Homemade Cucumber Remedies**| |-| **Cucumber, honey & Oatmeal Face Mask** ***Ingredients:*** - 1/2 Cucumber - 1 tbsp Honey - 1 tsp Oatmeal ![food-4635992_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZupijtB2rN6Rxdo3CGyvp4sW5WHAxgN8sc2cD23c14Ka/food-4635992_1280.jpg) [Source](https://pixabay.com/id/photos/makanan-mentimun-dapur-memasak-4635992/) ***Actions:*** 🔹Wash the cucumber well and without peeling grind it with the help of a blender until it’s the consistency of a watery paste. 🔹With the help of a strainer, separate the juice from the cucumber puree in a clean bowl. 🔹Mix the rest of the ingredients well in the separated cucumber juice 🔹Apply the mixture to your neck and face, then use your hands to gently massage it in. 🔹Two slices of cucumber should be taken above both eyes.
