Why this worksCucumber is hydrating and soothing, while mint adds a refreshing burst that revitalises your skin. Together, they create a cooling effect that helps combat the heat. Plus, this mist can enhance your overall glow and keep your skin feeling fresh throughout the day.

The ritual, step by step

Gather Ingredients You'll need fresh cucumber, mint leaves, distilled water, and a spray bottle. Make sure your cucumber is washed and peeled for the best results.
Blend the Cucumber Chop the cucumber into small pieces and blend it until smooth. You want to extract as much juice as possible, which is the magic of this mist.
Strain the Mixture Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the cucumber juice from the pulp. This leaves you with a smooth liquid that will be the base of your mist.
Mix in Mint and Water Add a handful of crushed mint leaves to the cucumber juice. Then, mix in distilled water to dilute the mixture to your liking.
Bottle and Store Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and store it in the fridge. This will keep it cool and refreshing every time you use it.

Where people go wrong

Don't skip the straining step; pulp can clog your spray bottle. Also, using tap water instead of distilled can shorten your mist's shelf life. Lastly, be careful not to use too much mint, as it can overpower the cucumber's soothing properties.

The pro moveAdd a few drops of your favourite essential oil for an extra aromatic boost.
