Packed with vitamins and enzymes, cucumber has been used in skincare for centuries. It is an excellent antioxidant and is beneficial for all skin types. It improves the look of dull skin and dark circles. Often used in toners for its astringent properties, it also has powerful rejuvenating properties that help stimulate skin cell growth and give the skin a hydration boost.
