The most effective face masks are cucumber. It's hard to argue with that. Do not waste your money on expensive products, it is better to nourish your skin with this wonderful vegetable to always remain young and beautiful. Do you like cucumbers? To be honest, I didn’t like them before, but when I started growing them myself in my garden, since then I haven’t had tea. Young cucumbers are especially useful, from which you can prepare salads for weight loss or simply cut them lengthwise, salt and crunch. I always cut off the peel from them and applied to my face. This is perhaps the oldest and well-known method. But not so long ago, the girls were cleaning our house and we came across an old newspaper clipping from the 80s - probably, someone put it in a book, and so it stayed there. It covered how to make homemade cucumber face masks for dry, oily skin, whitening and anti-wrinkle masks. I have been using them for a month now and I can say that it is really worth it to try: the skin looks healthy, fine wrinkles and age spots that have appeared from the sun have disappeared. I hasten to share these beauty recipes with you, dear ladies!
