Often, lack of enough rest, stress, too much thinking or alcohol can make the eye puffy. This can make you look unnecessarily tired. Cucumbers lend a cooling effect on the tired and stressed eyes.
This is made possible by placing a chilled slice of cucumber on your eyes and allowing it to rest for 10-15 minutes.

Cucumber has silica, a compound that helps lightening of dark circles.
This is achievable by putting grated cucumber on your dark circles and making it rest on the eye for eight to 10 minutes. Rinse it off with cold water. You can also just place two slices of cucumber directly on your eyes.
