10 POINTS FOR BEST ANSWER WITH TIPS!!

Answer 1

yes, you can dilute them in white distilled vinegar and put in fridge. I would use it next day however. After that, you can blend it into an eye mask. Put a little mint in the blend for a fresh tingle feeling. Thus it can be used three times over.

Answer 2

YES.. try it.. make me best if it's effective.. ^^

Answer 3

yes soak them in weak brown  vinegar dilute it

Answer 4

I would think not.  After a cucumber has been cut, it starts to dry out as the water evaporates. And if you store it in water, it will absorb the water and get... nasty.

Answer 5

you could, but you wont get the best results. the reason that cucumbers can reduce puffy eyes are because of how moist they are. after using them, the moist-ness is mostly gone and bacteria might be on them. best to change cucumbers for every use =)

tip#1: best when the cucumber slices are cold. maybe take them out of fridge and let them sit for a while before use.

tip#2: always slice right before use so you can preserve the dampness/moist for better results.

hope it helped!

Answer 6

Answer 7

NO! Unless she wants to risk getting an eye infection.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Cucumber are a well-known natural beauty treatment.

They contain anti-inflammatory properties to reduce redness and puffiness of eyes

Simply put a slice over each eye and lay down to relax for 10 – 15 mins.

Also what is your definition of “re-using” them?

If you put them in a salad and covered them with dressing, then NO, you can not re-use them.

If you put them in a salad plain, then yes you could reuse leftovers afterwards.

Answer 10

Is she also trying to figure out a way to re-use used toilet paper?

( also Hylexin really works for dark circles and eye puffiness) and it works fast.

I don't think they ever proved that cucumbers really work( if so it's minimal).

Answer 11

i feed mine to our pet rats. therfore recycle.

Answer 12

You mean, after you use them to remove eye puffiness? That would be kinda ....yucky...in my opinion. If you want you can dry them out and hang them, otherwise just compost them or toss them out to the birds, not sure if they will eat them though.

If you are asking if you can use cucs to decrease puffyness, then, yes, they are very good for doing that. They are even better if you put a cuc in the blender and make a facial mask, it has the same effect all over the face and a very refreshing, cooling feeling afterwards.

Answer 13

re-use?

but yes, they do. so do refridgerated tea bags, drinking lots of water, splashing cold water on ur face, but be careful of nail polish--it sometimes CAUSES puffiness.
