I have seen Korean putting cucumbers in their eyes. They put cucumbers around the eyes and sometimes on the face. I guess it is one of their beauty secrets. This practice has been used in many skin clinics especially when doing facial treatment.

In the house, I tried putting cucumber especially when my eyes are tired and I must say it has a soothing effect. I should do this regularly because I’m already in my midst 30’s. With my age, I need to take care of my skin so I can stay younger.

According to wikipedia Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a widely cultivated plant in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae. It is a creeping vine that bears cylindrical fruits that are used as culinary vegetables. The cucumber is originally from Southern Asia, but now grows on most continents.

Cucumber has anti aging capabilities and it can hydrate the skin. It is also high in vitamin C, which makes our skin healthy.

How to use cucumber at home?

– Apply two slices of freshly cut cucumber on both eyes. This would help reduce the appearance of under eye darkness and puffiness.

– Soak two cotton balls in the cucumber juice and apply it around your eyes.

– Grated cucumbers or cucumber juice can be used to treat freckles, age spots and other blemishes.

Always remember, cucumber is good to your health and skin but when putting it your eyes, make sure your hands are clean.
