not as good as it may look



this is what i did to myself last friday night. it wasn't as good as it may look. i didn't eat the whole thing because i put too much salt on it. but i did wake up with water retention because of the salt...my eyelids and fingers...lesson learned





Cucumbers are recognized for their refreshing, skin-reviving quality. Cucumber slices are a commonly recommended rejuvenating agent for tired, puffy eyelids. For a facial wash, puree half a small cucumber and add 1 tbsp. of plain yogurt, then apply. Yogurt, as well as milk, provides calcium and protein to skin. An alternative involves substituting 1 tsp. of honey for the yogurt. Honey is an antioxidant, and the darker it is, the more beneficial ingredients it has. Honey also helps make skin smooth.
