Benefits
Cucumber oil has properties that make it an antioxidant while also having diuretic, relaxing, anti-stress, anti-inflammatory benefits.
In fact, a 2011 study proved that cucumber extract is extremely beneficial for the skin and has passed the maximum number of dermatological tests. The study also states that cucumber extracts help reduce the melanin content which is responsible for skin pigmentation and complexion while also having anti-acne effects by decreasing the content of skin sebum.
If your hair needs help, cucumber oil can help with that too! Cucumber contains minerals like silica and sulfur which are known to promote hair growth while also protecting from breakage and hair loss. Cucumber oil is also extremely hydrating, which makes it great for the scalp and can reduce dryness, itchiness, and dandruff.
