Cucumber cuts over the eyes are a notorious delight treatment, yet we have no clinical proof supporting this training with cucumbers explicitly. Cucumbers contain a lot of nutritious substance compounds, similar to L-ascorbic acid, however is there enough of them to do anything when applied topically? That is really impossible.

Be that as it may, to squander a cucumber, you can simply utilize a cool gel pack or wet washcloth.
