Why This Mask is So Effective

Cucumbers are usually used as eye pads to remove under eye circles and puffiness, but in this case, they're used in the actual mask itself.

Cucumbers are natural astringents which means they cleanse the skin, tighten pores, and wipe away excess oil.

Oatmeal is a natural exfoliant and will help keep oiliness and acne at bay.

Honey is a natural antimicrobial and antibacterial agent which helps keep acne away and also cleanses the skin.

Lemon Juice brightens the skin and also helps to fade away acne scars, dark spots, and age spots.
