Soaking up the summer rays is good for the soul, but even with the amount of sunscreen you should be wearing each time you venture out, your skin might very well need a bit of rejuvenation after being exposed to so many rays. I have been trying to build up my arsenal of all-natural body-care recipes, and this one is my latest discovery. It is so simple, I was skeptical at first over how much benefit I would garner from it, but after trying this after our last trip to the pool, I am sold! A glycerin and rose water mixture has been touted as an excellent toner for sensitive skin (which, I’m sure we’d all agree: sun-kissed skin can tend to be quite sensitive!), and those ingredients coupled with cucumber and its natural cooling properties make this Soothing Summer Skin Refresher a must-try for anyone with outdoor plans in his or her future. Enjoy!

This sounds fabulous! I’m going to bookmark it so I can try it after our beach trip next month. I have a healthy supply of cucumbers in the garden!
I am totally going to try this! What a great idea! Love your blog!

Hi, Amy.
I’d like to try this, too. I love natural remedies, and I definitely have sensitive skin whether I am in the sun or not.
About how much cucumber do you need to make a batch?
Thanks for sharing!
Laura
I was just writing a blog post about what I was going to do with all these cucumbers I purchased at the farmer’s market, and then I remembered that I had seen this and went ahead and provided a link to your post. I hope you don’t mind!

Sounds fabulous…I will have to make this when we go to L.A. and there is actually sun to be refreshed from…I despise this fog here!
