With its hydrating, soothing, and astringent attributes, cucumber is cooler than that old expression lets on. Acne-ridden and inflamed, stress-aggravated skin will drink in this restorative, simple-to-make aloe and cucumber mask to unveil a radiant, dewy complexion.

Aloe and Cucumber Mask

1 large aloe plant leaf, washed and chopped, or 1 cup aloe juice
1 cup chopped cucumber

Combine the aloe leaf (or aloe juice) and cucumber. Puree in a blender. Apply the mixture to a clean face and neck and leave on 30 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
