• As your skin is oily it automatically opens up the pores and keeps them lubricated, but the problem is that they get blocked easily if you use makeup or work in dusty conditions. So before you do wash your face or apply makeup, it very advisable that you apply an astringent. This helps draw tissue together. Makes your skin less oily.
• Cucumber (“cucumis sativus”) is rich in Vitamin C, folic acid and potassium, the most important factor is that the hydrogen level of cucumber is on level with our skin thus it acts as an excellent skin mask over problematic areas. The combined cooling and cleansing effect it has, makes your skin supple and soft.
