I have a friend who has a 5-year old beautiful son with rosacea. One day she had him at a barbecue at another friend's house, where her son for some reason ate a lot of the sliced cucumbers off the large mixed salad. You know kids. He started just picking them off like crazy off the top of the salad. The next day, my friend called me. She was so excited and amazed that her son's rosacea had cleared up, immediately. Could it have been the cucumbers?, she wondered out loud. It turns out, her hunch was right. Cucumbers are one of the best natural remedies for rosacea and red skin irritations in general, including those associated with keratosis pilaris (KP). Here is the best natural way to use cucumbers as a remedy for the redness of rosacea. Cucumber mash. This is a chootoo original remedy. Put 3 ice cubes, a peeled cucumber, and 3 tablespoons of witch hazel in a blender for 45 seconds on medium speed. It makes a cold cucumber mash. This is like heaven to irritated skin. Your skin will love you for it. You can also use this chootoo cucumber mash on your face to calm down redness and rashes in general. Ladies, it works! Eating cucumbers every single day also helps. Cucumbers contain high concentrations of ascorbic (vitamin C) and caffeic acid. These 2 acids help to soothe skin irritations and reduce swelling. The skin of cucumbers' hard skin is rich in fiber and contains 3 important minerals ---- silica, potassium and magnesium. The silica in cucumbers is a wonderful tonic for improving your overall complexion because it reduces the puffiness and inflammation by preventing water retention. This is why cucumber slices help to reduce the swelling around eyes in so many health spas. If you eat cucumbers every day and use chootoo's cucumber mash as a weekly mask, your friends will soon start asking you what you're doing to get such beautiful skin! You are just getting started!
