Why is there an allergic reaction to cucumber facial application?

Cucumber is a delicious vegetable. It was introduced to China from the Western Regions. After several years of development, it has become one of the main fruits and vegetables throughout the country. Cucumber dishes are very delicious. Cucumbers can not only be eaten, but also used to make facial masks to provide the most natural protection for women’s facial skin. However, some women experience allergies when applying cucumber on their face. What’s going on?

Applying fruits and vegetables on the face has a certain effect of whitening and rejuvenating the skin, because the fruit acid in fruits and vegetables can reduce the thickness of the stratum corneum and remove dead skin. At the same time, fruit acid can also promote the proliferation and rearrangement of collagen fibers in the dermis of the skin, making the skin smooth and elastic. Fruit acid can also unclog the openings of the sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles and reduce the formation of acne. However, fruit acid can only play a cosmetic role at low concentrations. When the concentration is extremely high, it is highly corrosive and can cause great damage to the skin if used improperly.

Fruits and vegetables that are known to cause solar dermatitis after facial application include cucumbers, tomatoes, red grapes, figs, radishes, potatoes, etc.

The above technology explains why cucumber facial mask causes allergies. The reason for the allergy is the effect of fruit acid. Some women are prone to allergies under the stimulation of fruit acid. Therefore, allergies are prone to occur after using cucumber facial mask. I hope that women with allergies must pay attention.
