Beauty Myth of the Day

Scandle Candle's beauty myth countdown.

Myth #3:

Cucumbers help reduce puffiness around the eyes.

Sorry ladies but cucumbers are made up of 90% water and 10% inert fiber. So, while a cucumber slice over tired eyes can be soothing, it only moisturizes and hydrates skin temporarily. The same results can be achieved by using a cold compress.
