Natural Cucumber Eye Mask Recipe





Natural Cucumber Eye Mask - Great for relieving Puffy eyes, Eye strains, Tiredness, and sometimes Migraine. Regardless if you are a Male or Female you should have this in your freezer at all times. Taking care of your eyes will be of great benefits especially your kidneys.

Like to share my natural skincare and natural remedy, which I've posted last month in Picks, FB & Tweeter.

Ingredients & Required Tools: (Double your recipe if needed)
1.5 cup cubed cucumbers
1/3 cup water
strainer
makeup remover cotton pad (preferred rectangular)
blender
bowl
spatula
surround wrap to wrap
surround wrap or parchment paper as a table liner
chopsticks
Freezer ziplock bag or zippible sandwich bag

1) Put in your cucumbers and water and Pulse 5 times and scrap pieces of cucumbers on the sides as needed then blend on dial 2 until well blended & chopped ( you may use a juicer if you have one then you could skip to step 3)

2) Then Strain out the bits of cucumber so only the juice remains in the bowl as shown in figure 4. Put the pieces of strained cucumber pieces in a separate bowl, Do Not Discard these pieces.

3) Cut up an 8 x 8 inch surround wrap or parchment paper on the counter.

4)Then cut up large enough size of surround wrap that could cover and wrap your eye mask. Eg. Since my cotton is 2 x 3 inches I cut up my wrap 5 x 15 inches so I could wrap & separate my cotton.

5) Drop in your makeup remover sponge into the juice, (preferably a thin rectangular one) then use a spoon and press on the sponge to make it soak faster.

6) Use chopsticks or tongs to pick up the cotton and let it drip on the side of your bowl to remove excess juice. As soon as you see it isn't dripping juice then you could transfer it to one side of your 5 x 15 wrap, make sure to leave approximately 0.5-1 inch on shortest side of your wrap so you could seal your mask when you are done. On the long side you want to seal the first cotton just fold the wrap enough as shown in figure 7, just like how you fold a sandwich in half. And keep repeating the steps 5 to 7  if you have difficulties understanding this step please feel free to let me know.

7) When you are done, date your Freezer bag and place your wrapped eye masks in the bag and Freeze it.

Take care everyone and Stay Healthy. Cheers.
