True or False?  Cucumbers contain a special ingredient that helps reduce puffy or swollen eyes.  Experts believe this to be false. 

Fact:  More than 90% of cucumber consists of water.  The real secret is the cooling effect of the water in the cucumbers.  It is believe that the cooling effect of the water, combined with increased humidity, is what reduces swelling around the eyes.  Cucumber in high concentration may help to improve the hydration of the skin, however, cucumbers do not contain any ingredients that specifically targets eye swelling…it’s the cool water in the cucumber that’s doing all the work.
