You might be familiar with the cucumber-over-your-eyes tip, but Irina Kravchenko, whom we spoke to at Tibi, has her own spin on this trick. For starters, she uses the cucumber peel, not the fleshy part; and second, instead of just applying them to her eyes, she'll use the peels on her entire face. Also, she insists on only using the best of the best.
"The cucumber needs to be really organic, not from the store," she said. "It must be from your own garden, so that you for sure know it has been grown naturally." (Our tip: if you don't have a garden, try the farmers market.)
Cucumber skins contain more antioxidants than the inside of the vegetable. It helps to soothe skin and reduce swelling.
