DIY Cucumber Face Mask for Acne


February is coming to an end which means spring is right around the corner! (hopefully) This is a refreshing, exfoliating, and rejuvenating cleanse for oily skin, yet fights appearance of pimples fast. Most of the stuff you'll find around your house and it's all 100% natural ingredients. 

Ingredients:

  • Half of a cucumber
  • Two tablespoons of oat
  • One tablespoon of Honey
  • Half of a lemon

Put the cucumber, cut into pieces in the blender. Add the oat flakes, the juice of half a lemon and honey. Blend until ingredients are integrated with each other, resulting in a homogeneous mask.

Apply this beauty makeup in areas most affected by acne. Massage gently to exfoliate and then leave for 15 -20 minutes before removing the mask with cold water.

This mask works well against acne, performing various functions. On one side is astringent and avoids the formation of fat on the face. It also helps to eliminate the layers of dead skin cells. Moreover, it is perfect to nourish and soften the skin, two of the fundamental characteristics of honey and oats.

We must, however, be careful not to use it before sun exposure, given the presence of the lemon. The contact between sun light and treated skin from the lemon can cause spots on the skin. Therefore, it is best to use it at night.
