Not only are cucumbers excellent to get rid of puffiness under the eyes, it also has another benefit - soothing a sunburn. Cucumbers contain ingredients to soothe, reduce swelling, hydrate and cool a really bad sunburn. Cut a few slices of cucumbers and apply it directly to the skin.
Fun Fact: Cucumbers contain 90% of water. Did you know you need to eat five full cucumbers for the nutrients and water to go to our outer organ - the skin? Yes, it's true. The nutrients first attend to our inner organs before it focuses on our outer organ. The exact same goes for carrots.
Here's a Water Fact: An inch of a 500 ml bottle of water goes into our skin, if you drink to whole bottle. Just like cucumbers and carrots the water goes directly to our inner organs before it appears in our skin. I guess when they say make sure you drink 8 glasses of water a day, they aren't kidding. Remember, for every cup of coffee you drink, make sure you drink the double amount of glasses of water. Caffeine absorbs the water that's in us causing us to be dehydrated.
