A good remedy for skin reddened by puncture or sunstroke is precisely cucumber. Obviously we are not talking about burns but about simple redness. Blend the cucumber or slice it and apply it to the skin to soothe the pain and itchiness. Beware that the same thing can work even in winter with dry skin due to the cold.

Eliminate skin blemishes
The discovery that cucumber is good for the skin is lost even hundreds of years ago, when a British botanist discovered that cucumber and lemon worked wonders. One of the systems discovered then is still used today and is the removal of skin blemishes. Simply slice cucumbers and apply them to the face and skin that has spots. After about half an hour we will clearly see a whitening effect. Indeed, there is that he blends the whole cucumber and mixes it with the face cream, so as to obtain a top solution for the skin.
To purify the skin we can also create a mask by blending together the cucumber, a few drops of lemon and a low-fat natural yogurt. A quarter of an hour of application on the face and we will feel it reborn fresh and toned.
