(28/07/2010)

It’s no secret that cucumbers are an incredibly healthy addition to any balanced diet, clear out your intestines and best of all, taste deliciously refreshing. But, did you know that you don’t have to eat cucumbers to get the best out of it, for your skin and body?

Extracting the seeds from the cucumber, drying and steaming them, creates a Cucumber Seed Oil that makes a brilliant additive to many skin and naturally curly hair care products.

But why are they so utterly good? It’s because cucumbers are full of lots of nutritious goodies, of course. The yummy hidden treats in cucumbers include:
• Vitamin C
• Antioxidants
• Anti-inflammatory properties
• Potassium
• Silica
• Magnesium
• Fluorine
• Sodium
• Chlorine

All mixed together, these natural properties work at reviving your natural beauty, in both your skin and your natural hair.

Any girl knows that putting cucumbers on your eyes is a brilliant way of reducing puffiness (bags) and dark circles around the eyes. This is due to the way that cucumber prevents water retention, is full of vital vitamin C and antioxidants that keep our skin silky smooth, whilst protecting it from conditions that mean our skin needs extra moisture; illnesses, sun burn, dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis.

Cucumber Seed Oil works even better against sun burn and redness, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, that works hard to soothe discomfort, caused by sun, where the skin desperately needs moisture. The anti-inflammatory properties also work well at reducing spots, pimples and blackheads from all areas of your skin.

Cucumbers are also a natural source of silica, which works at ensuring that our skin and complexion looks healthy, bright, glowing and rejuvenated, and repairing skin cells, whilst minimising the signs of age spots.

Silica is also a key to keeping naturally curly hair healthy, by strengthening and encouraging the growth of new hair. Whilst also restoring hair’s elasticity, reducing the chances of hair breakage, caused by the usual extremes in life, such as stress, pollution and chlorinated water that can actually damage natural hair growth.

Cucumber Seed Oil also helps ensure elasticity, thanks to the huge amount of Phytosterols that strengthen the skin’s lipid barrier, making sure that your skin gets just the right balance of moisture.

So, ultimately, cucumber seed oil infused skin and naturally curly hair care products will make your skin beautiful, and your hair so healthy that everyone will be desperate to know your beauty secrets.
