Cucumbers!

Sliced, chopped or juiced, cucumbers are cool fruits! It's no wonder they're used in facials :) 

Cucumber has an impressive amount of water (about 96%) that is naturally distilled, which makes it superior to ordinary water. 

Why organic cucumbers?

Organic ones that have not been waxed to seal in moisture. Once waxed, no washing can remove the wax and you have no choice but to peel the cucumber before juicing. But the cucumber peel holds Vitamin A, so onced peeled, most of it will be lost. 

Cucumbers also contain Vitamin K, C, potassium and calcium.
