Treats Dull Skin
Cucumber can infuse dull skin, and rejuvenate it from within due to its anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties. Cucumber works as a mild astringent which is helpful in soothing minor skin irritations too.
-
Treat Blemishes
Wash your face daily with cucumber water. This is a great way to keep blotches at bay. Cucumber has excellent anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe the skin and give you a gleaming and blemish-free skin.

Treat sunburn and irritated skin
Cucumbers are loaded with lots of nutrients like water, potassium, sulfate, and vitamins A and C that soothe skin conditions like sunburns.

Reduce puffy eyes
Cucumbers contain flavonoids and antioxidants that decrease swelling, redness, and irritation. The cooling effect helps shrink dilated blood vessels, therefore reducing the appearance of puffy eyes.
Eat, drink, and stir cucumber in your skincare
Drinking a glass of cucumber water can enhance saliva production, which in turn helps in keeping the mouth odour at bay.
