I know it is lame but cucumbers have soo many benefits other than being a piece of veggie. The reason why I am really so into cucumbers is that I wanna level up my water intake game. Instead of drinking lots and lots of plain water for hydration, I decided to flavour my drinks with cucumbers + lemon. I have read some articles that claimed the benefits of drinking these combo drink which are:

1. Balance your ph

- pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline your blood is. Since our body infuses acid more than alkaline, we need to consume alkaline based food in order to balance our pH.

2. Promotes drinking more water!

- I agree with this 1000% because drinking them makes me feel fresh and calm. (cucumber is an antioxidant so it removes toxic drama from my body, I guess 😂)

3. Clear up your skin

- Since this drink have vitamin C (lemon) and cucumber act as an antioxidant, it helps to cleanse your skin in the most natural way possible

4. Maybe help with weight loss

- The lemon, obviously. But, I said "maybe" because you cannot only depend on this drink to lose weight. A proper diet and an exercise elevate the chances of losing them buns.

5. Hydration

- No sh*t sherlock!

#2 DIY Cucumber Pads

I learn this trick from Michelle Phan. It was a long time ago when she shared some tips to create an eye mask using only cucumber and cotton pads. It's been years since I've tried this trick and I am back at it because I got some time to make some plus the cucumbers in my house turn bad so fast! I have panda eyes so I need this to help me from looking tired even though I'm not.

You will need:

🥒 Cucumbers and Cotton Pads

🟢 Just blend the cucumbers with some water and soak with the cotton pads. Each pad for each eye.

🟢 After that, you can store them inside the freezer so every time you wanna use it, you can just open the fridge, let it cool a bit and put it under your eyes for 10-15 mins. Bye bye puffy eyes!

Pssst: if you’re too lazy, just buy an eye mask with cucumber extract. Store them in the fridge to get the cool sensation on blast!

*Another trick that I like to use to get that refreshing look in the morning is to ball up some ice cubes 🧊 tissue or cloth and work in on my face until it melts.
