Cucumbers for your eyes...

[Lady Pearl]

your eyes?

*hand up*

I do find they make my eyes water alot, not sure if that's meant to happen. But my eyes sure do feel better after 20 mins of cucumber therapy (by that I mean a cucumber sitting on my eyes for a whole 20 mins)

Anyone made any face packs with cucumber? Haven't quite achieved that myself, too worried it'll go all wrong.

I have used them before but they never made my eyes water.
Cucumber also works great as a natural toner,just rub a slice over your face.It leaves your skin feeling clean & refreshed!(honest )Great for when you run out of your normal toner

They water ALOT..but they sure feel refreshed after.
I'm not the only one then!

I would, but I can barely afford to buy them for eating with the price the stores are charging lately. lol

I haven't done it myself, but I used to go to a bath house in Sydney where they would smear your face with wheatgerm oil and honey, and then pack on chilled grated cucumber and wrap you in a warm towel. It felt wonderful and my skin was so soft and smooth afterwards! But it really is something that needs to be done with help - it's hard to put grated cucumber on your own face.

How much if you don't mind my asking

lol I know, the first time I tried it I had to lie flat on the floor (wasn't comfortable), the juice was dripping and the grated cucumber would follow lol Now I just stick with the slices
(a Londoner on Fedora, how nice!)

Lady Pearl, we all appreciate that you are so eager to tap into the wealth of information here, but you should realize that when you badger people to post, it kind of turns them off. And when you post something on a Friday evening, you just can't expect anyone to reply between 8pm Friday and 7:30AM Saturday - most of us are not glued to FL Friday night and Saturday morning!

Well, you weren't turned off so it's not so bad after all
Thanks for the advice

Yum, cucumbers! I've tried putting them on my eyes before, and they do feel very refreshed afterwards. I read somewhere that they can help bags and swelling under the eyes or puffyness.

I like cooled, wrung out chamomile teabags for tired eyes - very refreshing and they reduce puffiness.
