Cucumbers for skin

[blizzardfrisbee]

Has anyone used cucumbers for skin--like blackheads?? How about for changing grey hair to the normal color?? Just curious! How did you do it--drink the cucumbers? Did you use the cuke drink in Alissa's book? How much do you drink to help skin??

I add half a cucumber to my smoothies everyday. My new favorite smoothie is 1 cucumber remove the seeds. handful of kale or spinach water and bzzz in blender. has a nice clean fresh flavor. I inherited nice skin from my parents. How ever I started getting a lot of complements after about 2 weeks into daily cucumber intake. So cucumber is in my diet everyday. Love them with just salt and pepper. don't like vinegar on them. I still have gray hair. Not prone to blackheads.

I'll throw this in as an "aside", since it is about cucumbers and skin.

I have a neighbor gentleman who used a slice of cucumber to close up an oozing excema (or psoriasis?) patch on his scalp when nothing else would work. He said he just layed the slice on the spot for a while.
