Reduce swelling
The coolness present in cucumbers reduces inflammation. Especially after working on the screen for a long time, keeping the eyes on the eyes provides relief.

The antioxidants and silica present in cucumbers can help tone the skin under the eyes.
Gives moisture
Cucumbers are high in water, which gives moisture to the skin around the eyes.
How to use correctly?
- Cool the cucumber in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes
- Then cut two round slices and keep it on the eyes
- Relax the eyes for 10 to 15 minutes
Precautions are also necessary
- Wash cucumber thoroughly and apply it on the eyes
- If you have an allergy or skin irritation problem, first do the patch test
- Cucumber only helps in fatigue and inflammation, do not use it in any severe eye disease
Cucumber can be a natural and easy way to relieve eyes, but it would be wrong to consider it to be eye medicine. This is just a supportive home remedy, not treatment. If there is persistent irritation, swelling or pain in the eyes, it is necessary to seek advice from a doctor.
