Cucumber To The Rescue
The oldest trick in the book!
The editors at Mypheme always think that I'm overtly sexual with my blogs. For example, when I told them that I had an idea about how to use a cucumber, they said, and I quote:
"This better involve a salad."
Get a grip gals. I'm talking about how to get rid of puffy eyes. (You know...the BEDtime variety, like when you sleep on your face after a HARD night).
Sliced cucumbers really do work on eyes that have morphed into slits. The chill of a refrigerated cucumber helps contract blood vessels in the area and the high water content of them helps to hydrate. If you cut two half inch slices and put them over your closed eyes for 15 minutes you'll see what I mean.
Working a cucumber is a real eye opener.
