Now, why is cucumber used as a beauty aid? Cucumber can help in lightening and revitalizing skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help deal with nasty skin break outs too!

Additionally, cucumber can be used for a Face Toner.

 5 Simple Steps To Make Cucumber Face Toner:

  • You can make a cucumber toner by mixing cucumber juice with juice from a lemon.
  • To make the cucumber juice, you can begin by scraping the skin off, finely slicing the cucumber, and blending it with water.
  • A sieve can be used to separate the mushy cucumber from its juice.
  • The final product can be stored in the refrigerator. You can store it in a spray bottle and spritz it on your skin in hot weather.
  • It is refreshing. Other ingredients that you can use in the toner instead of lemon juice are green tea or a herb like mint.
