Crush them until cucumber juice is produced. For the butter, simply heat it on a low flame and there you have some melted butter. Now, add both cucumber juice and melted butter in a bowl and mix them properly. Leave the mixture aside and let it rest for about 20-30 minutes.

Now, with the help of a cosmetic brush, apply the face mask all over your face. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes at least. Once it dries up, clean your face using cold water and apply some moisturiser afterward.
