Whenever you see women getting a facial or going to the spa, you often see them with cucumbers over their eyes. Is this for dark circles under the eyes? If so does it really work?

Dark circles most of the time is a hereditary condition that pairs extra thin undereye skin with surface veins which produces the shadowy effect.
Cucumber slices are for puffy eyes. There is an extract in cucumbers which tightens skin..along with the soothing coolness..quickly reduces swelling around the eyes. It has a calming, soothing effect, especially on tired eyes.
Just another one of the myriad of odd beauty tips out there.
Hope it helps!
