Cucumber has various benefits associated with skin treatments and natural beautification. As a cosmetic, cucumber is excellent for rubbing over the skin to keep it soft and white [9]. Because of its nutritious and an extremely cooling property, cucumbers are used by women to bringing cooling relief to the eyes in summertime [10]. Cucumber slices offer many topical benefits to the eyes and surrounding tissues through their hydrating properties, which work to reduce dehydration and their high levels of vitamin K that help reduce cutaneous eruption such as puffiness (eye bags) and dark shadows [9]. Cucumbers contain lignans that help to soothe down irritation and inflammation associated with sun burns and insect bites [11].:
