1. Spa Treatment
Since cucumbers are 90% water, they help relieve puffiness in your eyes while moistening and cooling them. This is why they are such a relaxing treat at the spa!

Cucumbers contain lots of fiber which helps you feel full and also lowers bad cholesterol. Both of these things are proven to help lower weight.

Don’t leave streaks on the bathroom mirror! Instead, rub a cucumber slice on the mirror to get rid of fog, and leave the room smelling fresh!

If you’ve had a few too many, eating cucumber slices before bed can help replace the sugar, B vitamins, and electrolytes in your body so you can wake up (mostly) hangover free.
