Cucumber Craze.

Recently, I've been looking to cleanse my body to get ready for some upcoming events. While researching for "at home remedies" I came across the cucumber and its natural benefits. Now, I'm not one to take medication or skip out on actual food for beauty so, when I read the benefits from a cucumber I had to share.

I've always wondered why I needed to put a cucumber slice on my eye during a facial. I just assumed it was to add ambiance but, it actually serves a purpose. The photochemical in cucumbers makes the collagen in your skin tighten-therefore, removing the puffiness under the eye. 

Another great benefit from cucumbers-you can rub it on a problematic spot of cellulite or wrinkle and it can lessen the visibility of it! 

 If you’re like me, about the middle of each day my energy level is low and I need a boost but, instead of grabbing a cup of coffee, I now grab my bottle of cucumber water. There are enough carbohydrates / B vitamins to give me that boost and a longer-lasting / healthier boost at that! Just slice 1/2 a cucumber and add it to your SmartWater bottle over night. As it sits over night, the water becomes infused and adds a fresh twist and flavor to the water.

Lastly, the cucumber facial is super easy and a great way to make you feel rejuvenated and relaxed. My sister & I love giving each other at home fascias. I mean, what better to do on a Tuesday night? However, this one might be the easiest yet. All you have to do is slice up a cucumber and boil it in a pot of water. The chemicals inside of the cucumber will mix with the steam. Remove your pot from the heat and lean over it, letting the steam hit your face. Make sure to cover up with a towel to keep the steam from seeping off. 

Do you have any great at remedies? If so, I want to know!
