Cucumbers aren’t just for decoration

You see it all the time in movies and on TV, women with a mask applied to their face with cucumbers over their eyes. Of course the mask is working hard to make the skin on their face beautiful but did you know that those women are also reaping benefits from those cucumber slices? Yup, you read that right, cucumbers contain vitamin C and caffeic acid which help prevent water retention and take down puffiness. Cucumbers are great for reducing those puffy bags under your eyes to give you that freshed face full night of sleep look.
So next time you use a face mask, don’t forget the cucumbers!
