Refresh your face with this cucumber-yogurt mask

Yesterday I noticed that my facial skin did not look up to par. So I decided that I would use an old fashioned recipe I know with the base ingredient of cucumbers. Now even though I’ve know of the wonders of cucumbers, such as its cleaning and cleansing properties which helps your skin tremendously making it soft and supple, I’ve never really tried it till last night.

So here’s what I put in my mask:

Recipe:

1/4 seedless cucumber

2 tbls plain yogurt

1/2 tsp honey

Directions:

1. First cut two slices of cucumber and set aside. These will be used to rest on your closed eyelids.
2. Dice up the remainder of the cucumber and place in a food processor to blend. Blend till it becomes saucy like texture
3. Pour into a bowl and mix yogurt and honey completely.
4. Take some out of the bowl and smear gently on face, covering face completely.
5. Lie down and place the two cucumber slices on closed eyelids and rest for 20 minutes.
6. Rinse!.

When you rinse you will see how radiant your skin looks. While I rested, I played some soothing music to deepen my relaxation. Instead of water for my rinse, I used some cold chamomilemy tea to close my pores and extend my treatment. My face looked wonderful.
