What are the benefits of putting cucumber slices on my eyes?
There are a lot of women who swear by the application of cucumber slices to reduce puffiness and redness around the eyes. They believe that the cucumber is behind any positive effects they see with this method. Unfortunately, they are mistaken. The cucumber itself has nothing to do with it. It is nothing but a vegetable – more than ninety percent of which is made up of water. The reason cucumber slices may get rid of puffiness under your eyes is because it is cold. In truth, you could experience the same results just by using a cold wash cloth. It looks better than a wash cloth in photo layouts and more exotic so it continues to be used.
