4. Notes when applying cucumber mask

Cucumber is a natural beauty ingredient, so cucumber masks cannot bring immediate results right after the first use.

Therefore, to achieve the expected skin care effect, you need to maintain the habit of applying the mask 2-3 times a week. Make sure to clean your skin properly before applying the mask.

When applying a cucumber mask, gently massaging the mask into the skin in small circular motions will help the mask penetrate the skin.

This helps the ingredients penetrate the pores and stimulate blood flow to the skin’s surface. The mask should be left on for 10 to 15 minutes. After applying the mask, do not wash your face with hot water as this can dry out the skin.
