The ingredients you'll need for this remedy are English cucumbers and some Cotton pads. Now, bear in mind that this remedy uses everything from the peel to the pulp to the juice of the cucumber.
-Start with thoroughly washing your cucumbers and then chopping them up into large chunks. Put these chunks into your blender and blend away.
-Once the mashed cucumber juice is ready, strain the juice and store the pulp for other uses (You can add them in face masks and scrubs).
-Take this strained juice and store it in your fridge until it's chilled. Once cool, bring the juice out and dip your cotton pads into the juice and let them soak up some juice.
-Place the cotton pads onto your eyes in such a way that they cover your upper lids as well as your undereye area. Slowly press the pads in place so that they stay that way for long.
