    Do you need to give your skin a quick vitamin boost? Try this easy homemade cucumber face mask. It'll make your skin nourished and hydrated.

    Easy Homemade Cucumber Face Mask is a luxurious spa treatment at no cost. Perfectly nourishes and lightens your skin, making it look radiant and fresh.

    Homemade Cucumber Face Mask

    Summer is around the corner and it's about time to think about proper skin care during hot summer months. Whether you like to tan or not, if you spend lots of time outside, the chances are UV rays will get you whenever you are.

    In summer, I always use moisturizers with a high SPF. And I recommend you do it too.
    Certainly, it's good to have a nice and smooth tan, but the skin health is what really matters most. Under UV rays, our skin tends to age faster, you might notice more wrinkles and dark spots. Eventually, our face is what's getting the most impact.

    I've been using homemade beauty treatments for a really long time. I'm a firm believer that they are the best since made of ingredients you actually know.

    Cucumber has been known for its miraculous anti-aging properties. What I particularly love about home products made with cucumber is that they are absolutely harmless and are good for any skin types.

    I won't describe you all the magic properties that this delicious vegetable does to your skin. Google-friend can tell you more:)  But in a nutshell, if you want to lighten your skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, make your skin look dewy and fresh, the Homemade Cucumber Face Mask recipe that I have for you today is absolutely a must-try.

    All you need are just 3 simple ingredients: cucumber, quick rolled oats and sour cream. I bet you already have these in your pantry and fridge. Combine and use! How simple is that?)

    What's cool about this Homemade Cucumber Face Mask is that whether you want it or not, you'll have a free additional facial toner. After you grate the cucumber to make a mask, you'll have a lot of cucumber juice. DON'T throw it out! Save it for after the procedure. And when you're ready to remove the mask from your skin, cucumber juice is your friend. You don't even need water. Cucumber juice will act as an awesome facial cleaner + skin toner.





    And if you've noticed, the recipe contains oats. You can skip this ingredient if you like, but I wanted to add some exfoliating properties to my mask. And for this purpose oats will work like magic, giving your skin a gentle cleanse + enriching it with healthy goodness.
