How to use:
Apply a thin layer at night, 2–3 times a week. Rinse off in the morning. Always follow with sunscreen, as vitamin C and citrus can make skin more sun-sensitive.
🥒 3. Cucumber & Mint Gel – Refresh + De-Puff
Best for: Puffy, tired, or overheated skin
Why it works:
Cucumber cools and tones, while mint refreshes and tightens. Perfect for under-eye puffiness or post-workout skin.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cucumber, blended and strained
- 1 tbsp aloe vera gel
- A few crushed mint leaves
How to use:
Blend all ingredients and strain to get a smooth gel. Store in the fridge and apply as a cooling face or eye mask. Use within 5 days.
🥄 4. Flaxseed Gel – Firm + Smooth
Best for: Aging skin, fine lines, and loss of elasticity
Why it works:
Flaxseed is loaded with omega-3s and natural plant-based collagen boosters. The gel texture firms and plumps the skin beautifully.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp flaxseeds
- 1 cup water
How to use:
Boil flaxseeds in water until it thickens (about 10 minutes), then strain through a fine mesh. Let it cool and store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Apply as a firming mask or overnight gel.
