These frozen cucumber pads are basically an alternative to putting actual cucumber pieces onto your eyes, the same benefits applies. Cucumbers are really hydrating and the lemon juice can brighten up your eye area; it's a fun beauty d.i.y. which you can use day or night. It takes less than 5 minutes for them to thaw, the cold pads helps reduce puffy eyes in the morning and after a long day, it could sooth your eyes.
You'll need:
- A Juicer
- A Cucumber
- 1/8 Lemon
- Cotton Pads
- Water
- Zip-lock bags
1. Start by Juicing your cucumber and peeled lemon wedge (make sure not to put too much lemon or it might get into your eyes and sting them), you can either toss the fibre but i put them into my potted plants.
2. Mix a few drops of water into the juice to dilute the mixture.
3. Soak the cotton pads into the mixture and press out the excess juice with your palms
4. Put the cotton pads into the zip lock bags (make sure they aren't on top of each other)
5. Place them into the freezer to store, you can keep them for months
* you could even add honey or green tea because they help with dark circles and puffy eyes as well
