10:03 AM		The best way to clean your face without dehydrating it (which can trigger an increase in sebum production to counteract the dehydration, which can aggravate acne), is by using rosewater or cucumber juice.
Cucumber juice is most easy to make, and very nourishing.

The best way to make cucumber juice is by using a juice extractor. But you can also use a blender, or even squeeze the cucumber with your hands.
Pour a bit of juice in a cup or saucer (the rest you can consume of course) and use a piece (or more) of 100% cotton wadding to dip in the juice to clean your face with.

Couldn't you just cut and peel the cucumer and rub the piece of cucumer on your face?

I think it will be munch gentler to your skin if you just use the juice
