Cucumber:
Hello girls, here I am with another natural
product for DIY. Today my topic is Cucumber which is one of the most widely
cultivated plants all over the world. It has high fibre content and contains
low calorie and rich in antioxidants, vitamin-C, manganese, potassium,
manganese, β-carotene and vitamin-K. Thus it does not only make a nutritious
diet but also helpful in skin care. Cucumber is by far the best natural toner;
its water content provides cooling effect and acts as a hydrating element for
skin and body. Let’s see how cucumber
rejuvenates our skin in different ways.

Allow it to dry for 15-20 minutes.

Another way u can use cucumber
juice for hair cleaning:
Mix cucumber juice with equal amount of aloevera gel.

Believe me ladies, your hair would not require further
conditioning as it moisturises the hair and makes it far more voluminous,
shiner and silky.
