DIY Remedies for Eyes

Honey and Cucumber

Grab that fresh cucumber from the fridge
Cut the cucumber into soothing circular slices, perfect for your peepers
Pop those slices in the fridge for 5 minutes to get them nice and cool
Place the chilled cucumber slices on your eyes and relax for 10 blissful minutes
Remove the cucumber, dab a tiny bit of honey under your eyes, and gently massage in a circular motion. Leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse off for a radiant finish.

Cucumber Juice, Milk and Coffee Powder

Take a fresh cucumber and mash it in a bowl to create a smooth base
Mix in a little bit of milk to give it a creamy touch
Add, just the right amount of coffee powder (not too much!) to help reduce puffiness
Combine & Mix: Blend all the ingredients until you get a thick, green-brown paste with a lovely texture
Application Time: Gently apply the paste ‘under your eyes’ (not on the eyes themselves) like a thick layer. Let it sit for 15 minutes, and then rinse off once it’s dry.

Potato Juice and Cucumber

Grab a fresh cucumber and potato to create this soothing remedy
Extract the juice from both the cucumber and potato, and mix them together for a potent blend
Transfer the juice into a clean bottle or tube. Apply the liquid under your eyes with a cotton pad or gentle fingers
Leave it on for 15 minutes, relax and then rinse off with cool water
Storage Tip: You can store this juice in the fridge for 3-4 days. Use it whenever you need a refreshing pick-me-up for your under-eye area.

Rose water and Cucumber

Cut a fresh cucumber into half-moon shapes, perfect for fitting under your eyes
Dip the cucumber slices in rose water, making sure they’re fully submerged. Let them soak for 2 minutes
Remove the cucumber slices, squeeze out excess rose water, and place them under your eyes
Relax for a few minutes, then gently massage the area under your eyes with the cucumber slices ( Important: Avoid letting rose water come into contact with your eyes ).
Enjoy the refreshing, hydrating benefits of this soothing treatment.

Aloe Vera and Cucumber

Mash a fresh cucumber and add a generous amount of aloe Vera gel to it.
Combine both ingredients until you get a smooth, juicy texture that’s easy to apply.
Gently apply the mixture under your eyes, making sure to cover the dark circles and puffiness. Relax for 15 minutes and let the ingredients work their magic.
Repeat this process daily to see noticeable results and enjoy refreshed, brighter under-eyes.
After rinsing off the mixture, don’t forget to apply a moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and nourished.
