Eliminate Blackheads With Cucumber Juice

Cucumbers are good for vegetarians. It contains 95 per cent of water and other vital nutrients. Juicing the cucumbers helps to cool the body during summers and also provides us with nourishing benefits. Avoid buying cucumbers that are yellow, puffy, have sunken water-soaked areas or are wrinkled at their tips.

Thinner cucumbers will generally have less seeds than those that are thicker, so they are better for juicing. While many people are used to purchasing cucumbers that have a waxed coating, it is highly recommended to choose those that are unwaxed, so that the nutrient-rich skin can be blended in a juice without consuming the wax and any chemicals trapped in it.  Make sure you wash your cucumber before chopping and juicing as the cucumber skin is sometimes covered in an edible wax to prevent moisture loss.
