Often overlooked as a salad vegetable, cucumbers can be used for its hydration benefits
in skincare. It is filled with antioxidants, including caffeic acid and folic acid, that help boost the
production of collagen and slow premature aging.
 
Cucumber can also soothe sunburns and reduce swelling or puffiness in the skin. The
cooling properties already make it a popular ingredient for skincare, but it works beautifully in
soaps as well.
