Procedure: Wash the cucumber, peel it, and use a fruit knife to cut the cucumber diagonally into thin slices of about 1 mm. After slicing, stick the cucumber slices on your face, even on your neck, in front of a mirror. After sticking, only the nostrils are exposed on the face. (Unlike finished facial masks, finished facial masks are not stuck on the eyelids because the skin of the eyelids is the thinnest and easily irritated, while cucumber masks are non-irritating and can be stuck).

Method 2

Ingredients: a cucumber, half a tablespoon of lemon juice, a tablespoon of hazelnuts, and an egg white (purée it in a blender).

Method: Peel the cucumber and put it into a food blender. Pour the cucumber juice into a colander or strainer and collect the filtered liquid in a bowl. Then, add the lemon juice and hazelnuts to the filtrate, and while beating, gently pour in the beaten egg whites. Finally, apply it evenly over the entire face. Keep it on for 15 to 25 minutes and rinse with warm water.

How to use
