We've all heard the old saying "looks like a pickle". But have you ever wondered what makes a cucumber so special? Its 96% water content, of course! This high water content makes it a great skin moisturizer!


Cucumber also contains cucurbitacin and cucumerin, which make it great for slowing down the signs of aging. It also has all the essential antioxidants such as vitamins A, B5, C, E and K that fight various types of skin pigmentation such as dark circles, acne scars, freckles and most importantly, age spots.


In addition, cucumbers are also a source of silicon dioxide, which is important for collagen synthesis, which rejuvenates your skin.
