Sunday Mask: Very Easy DIY Cucumber Mask

Ello, hello there. Time for another mask recipe, a very, verrrrry easy recipe this time. Are you ready?

CUCUMBER MASK

What you'll need:
-1/2 a Cucumber
-1 Tablespoon Plain Yogurt
*This recipe yields one mask; if you want to use an entire cucumber, double the Yogurt to two tablespoons. Place the unused mask in a container with a lid and store in the fridge no more than two days.

What to do:
- Cut a cucumber in half. Leave out the half you'll use and put away the other half.
-Wash and peel.
-Blend the cucumber into a puree.
-Add the yogurt to the puree.
-Blend the pureed cucumber and yogurt together.

How to use it:
-Apply the mask onto a clean face.
-Leave for about 15 minutes.
-Rinse in cold water.
*This mask might be a little runny, so you might want to lay down for the 15 minutes. If you do, why not place two slices of cucumber on your eyes too?

The current temperature as I type this is 84 degrees of dry heat. I was outside for about 15 minutes and my skin felt like it was on fire. Seriously... this is nothing compared to the Summer though. Gahhh! Slow it down, slow it down!!! When my skin was on fire, the thought of diving in the cool pool and have the refreshing water splash on my face ran through my mind. But of course, that isn't possible right now so the next best refreshing item I can think of are cucumbers!

Cucumber soothes and relieves inflammation and skin irritations. It is actually used in a lot of skin care products like face mask or lotion. Or the most basic of all, placing cucumber slices onto our eyes to depuff them.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and very easy recipe. Give it a try if not now, sometime in the Summer. Your skin will thank you later.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for another Manicure Monday post! Another Spring color on the way. Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading all! :)
