Anti-Aging Face Pack From Rice-Flour Cucumber
Cucumber is a powerhouse ingredient for natural skincare, thanks to its high water content (around 95%), abundance of vitamins (A, C, K, B vitamins), antioxidants (like caffeic acid and folic acid), and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s incredibly soothing, hydrating, and refreshing for almost all skin types, including sensitive skin.
