Cucumber & Coffee?

Cucumber & Coffee?

The healing powers of cucumbers on the eyes...A MUST try!!

Sometimes, I just play with ideas.

I take a look around my fridge and pantry, assess how my skin looks on a given day and use Google to figure out what ingredients have what benefit.

And today, I have a KILLER eye treatment for you that has been unbelievably powerful for me this past week…..

¼ Cucumber
½ TBSP  Coffee Grounds

Add to a blender and whiz until they come together in a smooth paste.

Apply the mixture to the skin around your eyes, being sure to hit the corners.  Leave on for about 15 minutes.

And here’s what Google told me:

  • Cucumber reduces swelling and dark circles
  • Coffee reduces dark circles and ‘wakes’ tired eyes

Google was right… And I’m a genius!

This past week has been one all-kinds-of-sleepless fatigue for me.

I felt crappy… But I looked great!

And sometimes, that’s all that matters!

Give it a try.

Stay Sexy,
