🥒How to make a cucumber face mask?
You’ll need the following:
• 1 cucumber
• mixing bowl
• mixing spoon
• measuring spoons
• blender or food processor
• strainer
Keep in mind that specific recipes may call for other ingredients too, such as aloe vera, oatmeal, or honey.
🏵Here are 3 options for DIY cucumber face masks, starting with the most basic recipe:
💚 Basic cucumber face mask
This recipe may be a good option if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to refresh or rejuvenate your skin.
1. Blend or puree half an unpeeled cucumber in a blender or food processor until it’s the consistency of a watery paste.
2. Separate the juice from any solid bits by pouring the mixture through a strainer.
3. Apply the cucumber juice to your freshly washed face. Let the mask sit on your skin for 15 minutes.
4. Wash the mask off with cool or lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a soft cloth.
💚 Cucumber and aloe vera face mask
This mask may be especially beneficial if you have dry skin, due to the aloe vera that can boost hydration.
1. Blend or puree half an unpeeled cucumber in a blender or food processor until it’s the consistency of a watery paste.
2. Separate the juice from any solid bits by pouring the mixture through a strainer.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel to the mixture. Blend until smooth.
4. Apply the mask to your face and massage gently. Let the mask sit on your skin for 15 minutes.
5. Rinse the mask off using cool water. Pat your face dry with a soft cloth.
💚 Cucumber, oatmeal, and honey face mask
This recipe may be a good option for acne-prone skin. Together with cucumber’s astringent properties, oatmeal can help exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, while honey can work to balance the bacteria on your skin.
1. Blend or puree half an unpeeled cucumber in a blender or food processor until it’s the consistency of a watery paste.
2. Separate the juice from any solid bits by pouring the mixture through a strainer.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of oatmeal to the mixture. Stir the oatmeal and cucumber juice until smooth.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the mixture and stir until well blended.
5. Apply the mixture over your face and neck, and massage gently with your fingertips. Let the mask sit on your skin for 15 minutes.
6. Rinse the mask off with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry with a soft cloth.
💙How to apply
🧖🏻♀️For best results, always thoroughly cleanse your skin before applying a mask and be sure that you’ve removed all makeup.
🧖🏻♀️When applying a cucumber face mask, gently massage the mask into your skin in small circular motions. This helps the ingredients to penetrate your pores. It also stimulates blood flow on the surface of your skin.
🧖🏻♀️Allow the mask to sit on your skin for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm or cold water. Don’t use hot water. This can irritate and dry out your skin.
🧖🏻♀️Don’t use a face mask more than two or three times a week. Overuse can irritate your skin or disrupt the natural balance of oils.
I’m From Honey Serum
About the product↙️

My thoughts 💭
💜Packaging ➡️ comes in a slim long attractive glass bottle with a pump dispenser
💜Smell ➡️ pleasant mild herby scent
💜Texture ➡️ dense, smooth, glossy in very light brown colour
🍯 The serum consistency is thick & feel like a primer upon application. It spreads easily and absorbed quickly.
🍯It leaves a very luxurious light, smooth, velvet soft feel and add a dazzling glow on my skin.
🍯 No greasiness after the serum is fully absorbed and keeps my skin refresh, revitalize and tighter after use.
🍯 The honey-like gooey texture adheres to my skin perfectly, providing a protective barrier as an anti bacterial. Thus, it does not cause irritation or sensitivity to my already delicate skin.
🍯 It also contains wrinkle care and whitening ingredients that rejuvenate and make my skin looks firmer, brighter and clearer.
🍯 I only need a small dab to cover my whole face as it is very concentrated. I love to use it together with the Honey Glow Cream as my night care routine. I would prefer to use it as a night care due to the humidity and warm weather in Singapore.
🍯 Highly recommended serum for those with lack of moisture and dehydrated skin as this serum has an excellent power to retain moisture.

🧡6 Benefits of Turmeric↙️
1. Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, turmeric can work wonders on condition-riddled skin. It can also help reduce redness from blemishes and calm skin conditions like eczema and rosacea.
2. Fight off acne
Turmeric is excellent for acne because it is a natural antiseptic and helps to keep bacteria from spreading. It’s especially effective when combined with apple cider vinegar which has astringent properties, meaning it plays the same role as your average toner.
3. Reduces dark circles
“Since turmeric is a proven anti-inflammatory and lightening agent, it’s perfect for alleviating this kind of concern,” says Courtney Chiusano, founder of Courtney Chiusano Skincare in Los Angeles, California. “It also stimulates circulation, which can help reduce puffiness and under-eye darkness caused by poor circulation.”
4. Protect against sun damage & aging
Research presented at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) 68th Annual Meeting shows that a moisturizing cream containing turmeric had the ability to improve the appearance of fine lines and brown spots caused by sun damage.
It also helps prevent loss of skin elasticity due to long term UV exposure.
5. Reduce appearance of stretch marks
Turmeric has the antioxidative power to penetrate and improve the function of the skin membrane cells, which will help prevent and treat stretch marks. Experts recommend making your own stretch mark-healing paste with one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, one teaspoon of turmeric and a squeeze of a wedge of a lemon (about one-eighth of the fruit). Rub this mixture onto the affected areas twice a day.
6. Soothe dry skin
Turmeric can deeply hydrate and revitalize skin while alleviating symptoms of dryness. It naturally speeds up the process of removing dead skin cells to reveal healthy and soft skin, and protects the skin cells from further damage.
