Thanks for the recipe Sophia!
Oh, how I love simple recipes like this!
Cucumber is often used for face swelling and puffiness. It is excellent when it comes to calming the face, and skin in general, down. It is cooling and gentle. It is also a great cleanser, especially for oily and problem skin types.
Olive oil brings nothing but great moisture to the skin. It nourishes the skin and moisturizes it but it does not have a greasy residue. It is easily absorbed by the skin leaving it smooth and supple. It is easily rinsed off with lukewarm water.
Finally, yogurt. Used for inflammation-prone skin, it contains alpha-hydroxy acid which have the ability to remove the dead skin cells. The result is rejuvenated, youthful looking skin.

I want to try this! But I was wondering..
by: Hannah
What are the benefits?
I have normal skin really no problems but it is quite dull(lack of sleep) and just a couple of stubborn blackheads around my nose and whiteheads under my lip on my chin.
Do you think I could add banana to this recipe?
Anything, please do tell !
