Eye Brightener: The most obvious DIY cucumber trick is to take two cucumber slices and place over the eyes. Kick back and let the cucumbers do their magic for 20 minutes. The cuke reduces swelling, dark circles and tiredness for a flawless look. Makeup artists on set worldwide still use this essential trick.



Facial Toner: For a mild, softening toner, chop ½ a cucumber, and puree with 3 Tbsp. witch hazel and 2 Tbsp. distilled water. Make sure all pieces are blended completely using a food processor, pour off into a bottle and use generously by soaking a cotton ball (especially refreshing during the summer!). The product will stay fresh for a few weeks, if kept in a fridge.
