I was going through some of my blog comments the other day, and I found one that stated that cucumber makes a good homemade acne mask and home acne treatment.
According to the anonymous post, they "tried cucumber," and it "reduced redness."
I decided to do a little more research on the topic and actually found that cucumber really can make a great acne mask.
What you will need...
- Cucumber
- Lime
- Egg
- Ginger 1/2 teaspoon
- Tumeric 1 teaspoon
- Clean Towel
Cucumber for Acne Instructions...
1. Like the egg whites acne mask, you'll want to first crack the egg open and separate the white from the yolk. Feel free to toss the yolk, or, if you're a saver, save the yolk in the fridge for a meal that you may be able to later use it for. Aside from that, you'll only need the egg whites for this treatment.
2. Ginger 1/2 teaspoon and Tumeric 1 teaspoon - Measure the correct amount of needed ingredients for each.
3. Slice up your lime.
4. Slice up your cucumber. Depending on the size, you may only need to use half of one.
5. Now, place everything into a blender or mixer. If you have the magic bullet, that'd work too. Now, mix!
6. After mixing, pour your new mixture into a bowl or container. Feel free to save any leftovers in the fridge.
7. Now, gently apply the solution to your skin.
8. Leave the cucumber mask on your face for around 10 - 15 minutes.
9. After treatment time has expired, rinse the mask off of your face. It may be easier to do this in the shower.
10. Once you've patted your face dry, feel free to apply an oil free or non comodgenic moisturizer to your face.
Does Cucumber Help Acne?
Although I have never tried it myself, a number of sites claim that the cucumber acne mask is great for ones' complexion. MyAcneRemedies.com states, that "cucumber has some special properties that make it able to draw out toxins and other nasty stuff in the skin"
Cucumber For Acne Scars?
Other sites and posts, like one I found at AssociatedContent.com, believe that a treatment such as the one that I spoke of above, is actually a great way to "get rid of acne scars." If I have time, I will go over some great homemade scar treatments with you guys a little later. It seems I have avoided the topic of acne scars for so long, so I really do need to talk about that soon.
