Cucumber Face Lotion Recipe

Ingredients needed:

• 1 fresh cucumber
• 1 glass of 72% alcohol
• 1 glass jar (or any other glass container with a wide opening)

Directions:

Wash the cucumber and slice it finely together with its peel or simply use a grater. Put the cucumber slices into a glass container and pour the alcohol over them. The ratio should be 1:1, which means if you have 1 glass of sliced cucumber you should add 1 glass of alcohol.

Close the container with a lid and let it sit in a sunny place for 12-14 days.

Afterwards, strain the lotion and keep it in the refrigerator.

Use this lotion every morning and every evening on a clean face. You can also use it throughout the day when you want to clean your face. Expect a noticeable improvement within 2-3 weeks of using it.

If you have normal or combination skin, this lotion will be ideal for you if you dilute it with boiled and then cooled water (add the same amount of water as the amount of alcohol in a previously prepared lotion).
