Cucumber Honey Mask(home remedy)

This year it was terribly cold in Bhopal & I spend my most of the time at farm house which is far from Bhopal & is far colder than the city. I avoided the mask & all coz of the cold.

But since temperature hasn’t increased  alot yet and my skin is feeling dry ,so I am using this homemade mask from last 15 days and it doing great.

Cucumber & honey mask:

be beautiful with punam

Take a cucumber & grate it & squeeze it to take out its juice & mix honey half of cucumber’s quantity in to it.My mom says i can store it for 3 hours only but i have stored it for 3 days in refrigerator.
I am using it with cotton ball & let it stay for at least 15 min only coz it's stightly sticky & then wash it with plain water.

With the continuous use you can see a brightened & soft skin.
I had some dryness as well & it reduced my inflammation on cheeks very quickly.

Why honey & cucumber:
I always say honey is my favorite ingredient. Honey is rich in nourishing trace element, natural moisturizer.
Cucumber reduce pigmentation, hydrates & soothes skin resulting in reduced inflammation.

Delicious & Healthy Juice Recipe (health drink)

To be beautiful you do not only need make up or proper skin care but you should also keep your body healthy inside. Today I am sharing one of my favorite juice recipes which is very good for skin & health. This helps in detoxifying body.
Cucumber & musk melon juice:
I take both of them in equal quantity & just grind them in juicer. You can add some salt or sugar or both the ingredients as per you liking. I just add a pinch of black salt.
Benefits of this juice: cucumber is a rich source of vitamin A which is a fat-soluble vitamin and antioxidant that plays an important role in helping you with your eyesight, bone growth, reproduction and cell division. It prevents constipation, control blood sugar level & regulate blood pressure and also a good source of calcium & sodium.
Benefits of musk melon: the fruit is high in dietary fiber and helps people who suffer from constipation. It is concentrated with excellent levels of beta-carotene, folic acid, potassium and vitamins C and A. So, if you are looking for healthy and younger skin, this is what you should include in your daily diet. The potassium content helps excrete sodium, and thus brings down high blood pressure. This fruit is great for menstruating women as it helps reduce heavy flow and clots.
Have you tried this recipe or any other health drink recipe? Then please share.
Keep smiling & be beautiful with me J
