One of the easiest natural acne cures to try is none other than the good old fashioned cucumber. The cuke has been around for ten thousand years and its long been touted as a natural cure for skin conditions. Ancient societies such as the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans used them to heal skin. There is a good reason why they did. Cucumber is good for the skin and it has a cooling effect on the body. This well known vegetable prevents water retention and is good for swelling and sunburn. You often see cucumber listed as an ingredient in fancy and expensive skin creams, and it often shows up in luxurious spas. However, using cucumber this way is likely to be expensive. The low cost way is to buy a cucumber at the supermarket, or grow them in your garden. Simply cut the cucumber into slices and apply these slices to your skin where the acne pimples are. Leave it on for ten minutes or so and then remove. It's good for the rest of you too. Do you body a favor and eat the cucumber that you don't put on your acne. This vegetable is a member of the gourd family. Its relatives include watermelon, zucchini, pumpkin and squash. Cucumbers are low calorie (thirteen calories per cup) and high in nutrition. They contain necessary nutritional ingredients including Vitamin C, Vitamin A (both considered vitamins for acne), as well as potassium, magnesium, folate, dietary fibre and a mineral known as silica.
