Treating Acne Redness with Cucumber

Years ago, I used benzoyl peroxide to treat my acne. That was way back in my University years. I used this for a long time and while it was effective in getting my breakouts under control, BP has its side effects. Peeling and redness are some of these. My cheeks became really red while I was on BP treatment to the point that they were raw and painful. I was really self conscious then and even covering the redness with makeup did not work completely.

It was then that I tried cucumber. I remember the first time I used it. I was getting ready for an event and my face was so red, I almost backed out. I searched the fridge for some ice---there was none. So I used the cold cucumber instead. I washed it and sliced it. I put the cucumber circles on my cheeks and allowed them to stay there for 10 minutes. After that, I noticed a considerable reduction in redness. I was able to apply my makeup afterwards because the dryness had subsided as well.


Now whenever I have redness issues, I use cucumber. It works every time.
