Cucumber is also a natural bacteria fighter, so while it is hydrating even into the lower layers of skin, it is also killing off the bacteria that causes acne. This, combined with its ability to regulate sebum production, will make for fewer blemishes.

- folate

This leaves the skin looking plump and fresh. Even if you don’t like the clean taste of cucumbers, they can be extremely effective for promoting healthy, youthful-looking skin in cosmetic applications.
