DIY Frozen Cucumber Eye Pads

• 1 large cucumber
• 2 tbsp aloe vera gel (optional)
• 10-15 cotton pads

• Chop the cucumber including the skin and put the pieces in the blender. Blend at high speed and until you get a homogeneous mixture. If the mix is too thick, you can consider adding small amounts of water to it and add the aloe vera gel, mix well.
• Pour the blended cucumber mix in a bowl and place the cotton pads inside. Give them a bit of time to get thoroughly soaked. Lift them out of the liquid and gently squeeze out excessive amounts of liquid.
