Discover now the secret of youth that my grandmother held: a homemade collagen emulsion based on cucumber and parsley . These two natural ingredients, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, act in depth to hydrate your skin cells, restore firmness and radiance to the skin, while preserving its elasticity. You will be surprised to see how much wonders this ancestral remedy can do!

Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 bunch of parsley
  • 150 ml water (about 5 fluid ounces)
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 2 teaspoons of milk

Why these ingredients?

  • Cucumber : Rich in water and nutrients, it helps hydrate the skin and refresh the complexion.
  • Parsley : Its high content of vitamin C and antioxidants helps stimulate natural collagen production and fight skin aging.
  • Lemon : An additional source of vitamin C, it helps to brighten and even out skin tone, while slightly tightening pores.
  • Milk : Thanks to lactic acid, it promotes light exfoliation and gives a creamy texture to this emulsion.

How to prepare this emulsion?

  1. Wash the cucumber and parsley thoroughly.
  2. Cut the cucumber into pieces (optionally removing the skin if you prefer a smoother appearance).
  3. Blend the cucumber with the parsley and 150 ml of water until you obtain a smooth purée.
  4. Strain the mixture if necessary to remove any thick fibers.
  5. Then add the juice of half a lemon and the 2 teaspoons of milk.
  6. Mix everything gently to obtain a creamy consistency.

How to use it?

  • Application : On clean, make-up-free skin, apply the emulsion in a thin layer and leave for around fifteen minutes.
  • Massage : To optimize the penetration of the active ingredients, massage lightly with your fingertips, in circular movements.
  • Rinse : Then rinse with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a clean towel.

Tip : For an ultra-fresh sensation, place the emulsion in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes before using.

Tips & Precautions

  • Skin test : If your skin is sensitive or prone to reactions, test a small area first (e.g. the inside of your wrist).
  • Frequency : You can apply this treatment 1 to 2 times a week for best results.
  • Storage : Prepare small quantities and store them in a cool place, in an airtight container, to maximize the freshness and effectiveness of the treatment (no more than 2 days).
