Spoon Measurement Terms

In some of our articles, and for non-liquid ingredients, we use the measurements ‘One Spoon,’ ‘Rounded Spoon,’ and ‘Heaped Spoon’, to measure the quantity of ingredients, rather than precise measurements in grams or ounces. This is because adding a little more or less of the ingredient does not affect the final product. Both tablespoons and teaspoons follow these guidelines. Here’s a brief explanation of these terms:

• One Spoon: Fill the ingredient in a measuring spoon, leveling it with a straight edge.
• Rounded Spoon: More than a level measurement, with the ingredient piled above the spoon’s edge in a rounded shape.
• Heaped Spoon: The non-liquid ingredient is scooped as high as possible on a spoon.

Make Fresh Cucumber Juice

1- Choose fresh cucumbers, wash them thoroughly and peel them.

2- Slice the cucumbers into smaller chunks to make blending easier.

3- Place the cucumber chunks into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

4- Pour the blended cucumber mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl. Press down with a spoon or spatula to extract as much juice as possible.

5- Measure out 1/2 cup of cucumber juice to make the DIY Cucumber Face Cream. Store any leftover juice in the refrigerator and use within a few days.

Make the Cucumber Face Cream

6- Pour the 1/2 cup of cucumber juice into a separate bowl.

7- Add 2 rounded teaspoons of cornstarch powder.

8- Blend the juice and cornstarch thoroughly, until the powder is completely dissolved.

9- Place the bowl in a bain-marie (hot water bath). A bain-marie is made by placing the bowl in a larger pot filled with hot, steaming water. It’s important to stir the contents continuously while the bowl is in the bain-marie to prevent lumps from forming.

Keep stirring until the mixture develops a creamy texture, then remove the bowl from the bain-marie. In my case, it took about 3 minutes for the contents to acquire the desired creamy consistency.

10- Add 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable glycerine.

11- Add 1/2 teaspoon of mint carrier oil.

12- Blend the ingredients thoroughly using a small spatula until you are satisfied that they have combined uniformly.

13- Scoop the face cream into a small container for storage.

14- The DIY Cucumber Face Cream Recipe is now complete. Enjoy!

How to Use: DIY Cucumber Face Cream

Here is how to make the most of your DIY cucumber face cream:

a. Cleanse Your Face: Begin by thoroughly cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. This step ensures that your skin is prepared to absorb the cucumber cream effectively.

b. Apply Cucumber Toner: Next, use a cucumber toner (as described in Easy DIY Cucumber Face Toner). Apply the toner evenly across your face using a cotton pad or your fingertips. Allow it to dry completely, which should take about 30 minutes. This step helps prepare your skin for the cream.

c. Apply the Cucumber Cream: Once the toner has dried, apply a generous amount of the cucumber face cream to your face. Gently massage the cream in upward circular motions, ensuring even coverage. Leave the cream on for 30 minutes to let the ingredients deeply nourish and rejuvenate your skin.

d. Rinse Off: After 30 minutes, rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry with a soft towel.

Store the cream in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and extend its shelf life. For best results, follow this routine every morning and evening.
