Benefits of Cucumber Water

We all know how cucumber water helps us getting rid of dark circles! Besides this, cucumber water is great for the skin. This is what I read.

• As cucumber and the skin share the same level of hydrogen, cucumber can easily mask all the problem areas. 
• It helps in soothing and softening your skin which can get you relaxed in no time.
• Cucumber juice is great for improving complexion and health of skin, plus it is naturally hydrating.
• It is great at restoring the overall pH towards nicer alkalinity. 
• Cucumber juice helps you tighten pores naturally.
• Due to its cooling effect, it is called the magic wand for the skin.

Here's my review of  Biotique Bio-Cucumber.


What I like about Biotique Bio-Cucumber

• It is super-duper refreshing!! It cools your skin and helps you relax instantly. In the summers, I sometimes keep it in the fridge and use it after returning from work, (post cleansing) it feels so good!
• It acts as a mild toner and improves the overall cleanliness of the skin by removing any residue, dirt, any excess oil and dead skin cells.
• It does not dry the skin, neither does it cause any unpleasant sensation.
• It has refreshing fragrance, won't exactly call it very mild but I like it.
• It is 100% natural! This is what I love about Biotique.

What I don't quite like about Biotique Bio-Cucumber
There's nothing that I don't like about the product per say, just wish it had a spray nozzle so that I could directly sprinkle it on my face. This is what it looks like..

Will I repurchase it?
Already on my third bottle..So of course yes.

Recommendation
I like product because it is natural and refreshingly cool, perfect for summers. I don't think it has made any dramatic and visible impact to my skin as such, but then it does what it is supposed to do, refresh the skin!

Additional Recommendation on Biotique Bio-Cucumber
A friend of mine was going through a pretty bad pimple phase. She visited the dermatologist and this was something recommended to her! I was already using this, but the fact that the doctor recommended this made me believe even more in this product.

The Face Pack That Doesn't Dry Up: Biotique Bio Milk Protein

What comes to your mind when someone talks about face packs?

Lying under the fan and waiting for the pack to dry..?

Dry and Stretched skin..?

Struggle to wash off the dried pack..?

If you want to stop worrying about these then give this a try! The Biotique Bio Milk Protein Face Pack is a pack that can directly be applied like a cream and then washed off after 15 min. It does not even dry up! Here's more and my review.

By the way, Milk Protein has been nature's moisture booster and lightening elixir since Cleopatra's legendary bath!

Product Details

• Name: Biotique Bio Milk Protein Face Pack
• Price: Rs 199 for 60 gm (1.7 Oz.)

What it Claims

• It is a 'Whitening and Rejuvenating Face Pack' that eases away wrinkles and lightens skin for a visibly fairer, smoother, rejuvenated complexion. 
• Suitable for all skin types.
• Can be used every day.
• Has therapeutic properties. 

The Ingredients

I will avoid the technical names. Basically it contains Almond Oil, Honey, Wheatgerm extracts and Milk Protein along with Seaweed. 

How to Use

• Apply evenly over cleansed face, neck and around eyes. 
• Leave on for 15-20 min. 
• Rinse with water or using a damp cloth

What I like about this Face Pack

• Sorry for being repetitive but the first thing I love about this is that it does not dry up! So no worries of stretched and dry skin. 
• The texture is exactly like that of a cream, not thick like other packs (See picture). You can apply it very conveniently. Also washes off very easily.
• The skin feels very fresh and soft after washing off. You do feel the difference! It makes the skin radiant.
• It has got a very mild but fresh fragrance.
• I used it for the first time after a trip from Goa. It actually helped my tan go away soon unlike my previous experiences.
• It is herbal.

What I don't like about this Face Pack: Nothing!!

How I use it

• I generally use it after applying the Biotique Papaya Face Scrub. It slightly burns in the beginning, but that feeling is normal and goes away quickly.
• I then follow it with Biotique Cucumber Water to tighten the pores before moisturizing.
• I generally do this once-twice a week. The skin feels very fresh and rejuvenated!

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Will I repurchase it? I already have!!
