CALMS & COOLS

Cucumbers contain a high amount of ascorbic acid which can help prevent water retention and when placed over the eyes they reduce the puffiness and add a calm cooling touch.

Cool as a Cucumber

Dr. Michele Burklund February 23, 2013

Every girl should keep an extra cucumber in the fridge just in case it might be needed to decrease inflammation around the eyes after a long night.  Cucumbers contain a high amount of ascorbic acid which can help prevent water retention and when placed over the eyes they reduce the puffiness and add a calm cooling touch.

That's not all cucumbers are good for:

  • Try them in a toner (they contain vitamin C, caffeic acid which soothes skin conditions like eczema, acne, and dermatitis)

  • Put the juice in your hair (the juice contains silicon and sulfur with nourishes the hair & promotes growth)

  • Juice them (they contain over 90% water along with great nutrients including B & C vitamins along with minerals)
