Many of us only think of cucumbers as a mojito ingredient or something to pickle, but there’s a reason why any spa experience seems inauthentic without this vegetable covering our eyes like sunglasses. With its ridiculously high water content and non-invasive scent, this hard worker from the melon family is actually one of our biggest allies in taking care of our skin in the summer months. Find out why, and also which products are best at harnessing the power of cucumbers in keeping your skin tight, supple and well-cared for.
Cucumbers and self-care go hand in hand, and Schaf’s Hydrating Daily Cleanser ($25) one-ups this relationship by including calming chamomile and ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid in this facial wash. Perfect for sensitive skin, cucumber-based cleansers ensure that you can start every day with the cleanest skin possible without irritating sunburns or even the occasional delicate pimple. Scaf’s particular version, however, is miles above the competition thanks to its inclusion of conditioning coconut oil, which will ensure that your skin gets multiple layers of protective care with every wash.
