Cucumber contains great hydrating, nourishing and astringent properties. They have the same pH as skin so they help restore the skin’s natural acid mantle, which protects it from bacteria and other contaminants.
– Regular use of a cucumber face mask can prevent pimples, blackheads, wrinkles and dry skin.
To make the face mask, mix two tablespoons of oatmeal, one-half pureed cucumber and a little milk. Apply the mask to your face and neck area, leave it on for about 20 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
– You can also use cucumber as a cleanser. Just mix cucumber juice with milk and use it instead of other cleansers.
8. Papaya
Papaya contains a natural enzyme known as papain that has antibacterial and healing abilities. The enzyme also aids in removing dead, damaged skin.
– To use papaya as a skin toner, mash a few pieces of ripe papaya and apply it as a facial mask. Keep it on for about 15 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
– Also, regular application of papaya juice helps reduce freckles or brown spots due to sun exposure. For extra skin lightening effect, mix a little lemon juice in it.
