Cool as a Cucumber

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)
