If you’ve ever wondered why spas put cucumber slices over your eyes, there is a good reason. Cucumber has a cooling and soothing soothing effect that can reduce the appearance of dark circles, according to the National Rosacea Society. Try cutting thick slices, placing them in a bowl of water and leaving in the fridge for 30 minutes. Then, place them on your closed eyelids for 10 minutes. Other methods include cold tea bags or even a bag of frozen peas, which can help blood vessels constrict and make the appearance of dark circles less obvious.
