Cucumber Mask DIY - 3 Easy Ways

Cucumber Mask DIY - 3 Easy Ways





I know it looks like I'm about to show you a recipe for salsa, but guess again.  Haha.  Instead, I've got three ways to make a lovely and refreshing cucumber mask.  Perfect way to beat the heat and stay beautiful :)

STUFF TO KNOW


+ For each recipe, I used a 1/3 cucumber pureed in my magic bullet, plus the other ingredients... so basically I used a whole cucumber to make all three recipes.

+ Your recipe might be a bit "prettier", plus easier to turn into a paste if you peel your cucumbers first.

+ To make a less watery mixture, cut out and discard the seeds.

+ Even if your mask mixture is not watery, it will be drippy.  It might have a hard time staying on your face if you are sitting upright.  For best results, make it a full siesta and apply it lying down!  (I had the best skin-sticking results when oats were added- see photo above!)

 + Alternately, you can choose to make your mask watery on purpose, then brush the water-like substance all over your face.




CUCUMBER LEMON AND HONEY MASK

CUCUMBER BLUEBERRY AND OATS MASK

    Mm, those look good enough to eat, haha...did your face feel better after you applied them? I love putting cucumber slices on my eyes so a cucumber mask seems like a no-brainer. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Hey Gigi! My face felt really good afterward... though it was most effective at de-puffing the eye area. After I applied some moisturizer (I use coconut oil), my skin felt and looked great!
