Just take it and you can press pretty firmly, just like that and it will fall out into the bowl. You can take it, swipe it, smells delicious. Cucumber is actually a natural astringent. It reduces oiliness. It tightens the pores and it is also great for reducing puffiness, or tired eyes. So we're going to take, here's our half of our cucumber and I have some rosewater here, and I'm just going to put in a teaspoon of the rosewater. There we go. Smells so good! I'm just going to stir it up, nice and mushy so it's going to sit really well on the skin. I would just recommend just taking it with your fingers, putting it on your face, lay down, relax, take a bath, what have you. Put that on, leave it on for about ten to fifteen minutes and you're really going to feel the effects when you take it off. Your skins going to feel tight and clean, and don't forget your little cucumber slices.
