A Raw Cocktail for Vibrant Health
Cucumbers are a great source of silica and have high water content which makes for fabulous, glowing skin. Silica is also beneficial for connective tissue which means it can keep that glowing skin tight, firm and up where it should be. They also contain vitamin C and cafeic acid that soothe skin and reduce swelling, so cover your eyes with the garnish slices if you tied one on last night.
