Cucumber, Milk, & Egg Face Mask

Cucumber
 
 
Create a nutrient-rich homemade face mask for your skin using fresh cucumber, milk, and egg white.
Cucumbers are well-known for their natural anti-aging vitamins A & C, and their minerals - calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. With this power house vitamin-rich vegetable, how can you improve on it? Add milk and egg white.  

Cucumber, Milk, and Egg Face Mask Recipe

Cut two slices of cucumber and set them aside. Later, you will rest these on your closed eyes.  

Mix the following together into a spreadable light paste.

One-half of a cucumber with skin (use a blender to puree)
1 egg white from a pasteurized egg
Dry milk (enough to make a paste)
 
Instructions
  1. To a clean face, apply the cucumber, milk, and egg face mask to your face and neck areas.
  2. Lay slices of cucumbers over your closed eyes (the ones you set aside earlier).
  3. Allow the cucumber face mask to nourish the skin and dry (about 20 minutes).
  4. Rinse well.
  5. Pat face dry.

Apply your favorite moisturizer.  

Note:  
  • Do not store this mixture.  Always make a fresh batch. 
  • When applying any face mask, avoid the eye and mouth areas.
 

Cucumber, a Simple and Natural Skin Refresher

Cucumber can be used alone to refresh the skin. Simply cut fresh cucumber slice that is large enough for you to handle comfortably and then wipe the cucumber juice on your skin.  Allow the skin to have time to absorb the juice before rinsing off your skin in lukewarm water.
