The most inexpensive treatment you can undergo, and what most beauty queens swear by, is cucumber. This fruit has astringent properties and is rich with vitamin C. They soothe, tighten, and even moisturize skin. Chill some cucumber slices. Sit on your favorite chair or lie down on your bed and close your eyes. Place a cucumber slice on top of each eye. Relax. You may even want to listen to your favorite music while doing so. Remove after 15 minutes and your eyes will surely feel refreshed!
