Its not just your body but also your skin needs something to cool off this summer and this homemade face mask can give your skin a cooling effect and sooth it from the damage caused by sun.
Mash peeled cucumber or use just the cucumber juice and add
chilled aloe vera gel to it and apply a thick layer all over the face, you can
also use yogurt in place of aloe vera gel. Store the rest of the mask in a
container and refrigerate for later use.

Glowing Skin
1.Wash your face twice daily. Make cleansing your skin part of your morning and bedtime routines.
5.Protect your skin from the sun. Avoid leathery, tough skin by applying a light sunscreen every time you plan to be outside. The lack of sun damage will keep your skin dewy and supple for years to come. Remember, it only takes 15 minutes to get a sunburn, so be prepared.
- Use a gentle soap. Unless you have exceptionally oily skin, this should do the trick for most people. Remember that you want to clean your skin, not completely strip it of all oils — if it feels tight and dry after washing, you're using something too strong.
- Lather the soap around all the areas of your face. Make sure you get your forehead (especially along the hairline), cheeks, nose, upper lip, chin, and jawline.
- Rinse off by splashing water on your face. Using a washcloth or rag to roughly wipe your skin clean can irritate it more. Instead, bend your face over the sink, cup your hands together, and bring up small amounts of water to splash over your face. About 10 splashes should do it.
- Pat dry. Again, don't roughly rub your skin dry with a towel. Instead, dry it with small, gentle pats or let it air dry.
- Always wash off your makeup at night. Even if you're too tired to do the rest of the routine before you go to bed, at least make sure your makeup comes off your face. Not only does this prevent it from clogging up your pores and causing breakouts while you sleep, it also stops you from smearing bacteria on your pillow — where it can get into your skin night after night.
- Put a few drops onto a cotton ball or pad. Swipe it lightly over your skin.
- Only use astringent if your skin is exceptionally oily. Astringent is a stronger type of toner that can be up to 60% alcohol. If your skin tends to be dry, using astringent could actually cause acne by driving your oil glands to overcompensate.
- Witch hazel is a natural alternative to buying synthetic toner/astringent.
- Consider applying toner to only the areas of your skin that tend to break out. For instance, you might only use it on your nose or forehead.
- Consider using a lighter moisturizer during the day. If you're prone to breakouts, save the heavy cream moisturizer for nighttime and use a light or gel moisturizer during the day.
- Don't forget your neck and décolletage. These areas can get super dry and irritated if you never moisturize them.
