Cucumber can be used to protect against sunrays, especially in the summer season when temperatures are high, which negatively affects the skin.
- Using Cucumber as a Skin Toner
To protect the skin from the effects of high temperatures, cucumber can be used as a “toner” for the skin. According to the Times of India website, you can cut the cucumber into small pieces, then heat it for 5 minutes and blend it in an electric blender and strain it. Put the liquid in a spray bottle, and you can use it as a toner for oily and dull skin to get freshness, radiance, and protection from sunrays.
