Looking for relief for your dry, tired eyes? Are your eyes aching, burning, itching, throbbing, dry balls that feel like they're going to just pop right out of your head? If you work (or play) on the computer for hours every day, this is the article for you! Let's look at how one remedy can bring soothing relief to your dry, tired eyes...

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

a cucumber
snack-sized zip lock bags
a knife
a freezer
a few minutes

Step 1

Slicing a Cucumber

Slice your cucumber into thin slices.
Step 2

Cucumber Slices

Place two slices at a time, laying flat, into your snack-sized zip lock bags. You can make a few extra bags to put in the freezer for future use.
Step 3

Once the cucumber slices are frozen, take out one bag and use the two slices inside, placing a frozen cucumber slice on each eye.
Step 4

Cucumber Eye Treatment

Relax, leaned back or laying down, for a few minutes and allow the cool cucumber to soothe your dry, tired eyes.
Step 5

You can place a folded, cool wash cloth over your eyes as well (with the cucumber slices between the wash cloth and your eyes).
Step 6

Refreshing Feeling

You'll love how fresh your eyes feel after this cucumber eye remedy!

Tips & Warnings

If the frozen cucumber slices are too cold for you, you can let them thaw a little before you place them on your eyes.

on 1/20/2009 I tried EyeSlices in a spa during my vacation when I had tired eyes and was happy to discover EyeSlices can now be bought online to use at home. EyeSlices helped my dry eyes and burning eyes from travelling on the plane and quickly changing climates. I find using EyeSlices relaxing. EyeSlices claims to help puffy eyes and reduce dark circles under eyes, it definitely does for me.

This is where I purchased the EyeSlices online: http://www.eyeslicesusa.com

I'm only 26, so I'm not worrying yet about reducing signs of aging, but hopefully by using EyeSlices I'll prevent some wrinkles from starting! I like the fact that it's made with aoe vera.
