Organic Hydrating Cucumber Treatment

Ingredients 

  • ½ medium organic cucumber 
  • 1 TBSP organic, virgin, unrefined coconut oil, melted 
  • ½ tsp organic, sweet almond oil 
  • ½ tsp organic, aloe vera juice (or fresh aloe gel) 
  • 3 drops of organic, pure vitamin E oil 
  • 3 drops of AnnieMak Reverse Anti-Aging Serum  

 
Directions 

  1. Use a juicer to extract 2 tsp of juice from the cucumber. If you do not have a juicer, use a blender or processor to blend the cucumber until you can extract 2 tsp of juice. This can be done using a strainer, cheesecloth, or even a clean paper towel by wringing out the cucumber pulp.  
  1. Combine melted coconut oil, almond oil, vitamin E, and anti-aging serum in a small mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously while slowly adding aloe vera and cucumber juice to the oil.  
  1. In an environment that is under 70 degrees, allow the mixture to sit out for about 10-15 mins, whisking every few minutes. If it’s warmer, use the refrigerator and whisk every 2 mins. The mixture will start to harden and have a beautiful, even, light green color and smooth texture. Transfer to a storage container and store in a cool area.   
  1. Apply it anywhere and everywhere on your skin (just not your face as coconut oil is not recommended for your face).  
     

Enjoy!

  • Cucumber – contains folic acid to fight toxins, vitamin C to facilitate skin growth, and antioxidant components that help reduce wrinkles. These components help your skin to appear healthier, youthful, and firmer. 
  • Coconut Oil – bolsters your skin’s protective barrier, locking moisture inside and keeping skin supple and hydrated. Reduces inflammation. Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for irritated, chafed skin. Bonus, it also increases collagen production. 
  • Almond Oil – helps reverse damage from the sun, while reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Almond oil also improves skin’s overall appearance through hydration, leaving you with a luminous glow. As an added bonus, almond oil can even out your skin tone and texture and help to reduce and prevent wrinkles. 
  • Aloe Vera Juice – loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, aloe juice, is an ultra-healer for our skin. With its powerful vitamin and nutrient profile, aloe juice heals skin issues such as dry skin, acne, skin inflammation, psoriasis, and dermatitis. 
  • Vitamin E Oil – nourishes and moisturizes your skin. Vitamin E oil is also known to reduce hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. Vitamin E is anti-inflammatory and several studies have supported its prevention of inflammatory damage after UV exposure. Topical vitamin E can reduce UV-induced skin thickness, skin swelling, and edema.
