How to Use Cucumber Extract for Puffiness

Apply cucumber extract gently around swollen areas using patting motions, then follow with moisturizer to seal in the anti-inflammatory benefits.

1. Prep your skin. Cleanse the puffy area with cool water and pat dry. The cooler temperature starts reducing inflammation while clean skin lets the extract penetrate properly.
2. Apply the extract. Dot cucumber extract or serum around the puffy area using your ring finger. Pat gently in upward motions rather than rubbing, which can worsen swelling.
3. Let it absorb. Wait 2-3 minutes for full absorption before applying other products. This gives the cucumber's natural anti-inflammatory compounds time to work on the tissue.
4. Seal with moisturizer. Follow with a light moisturizer to lock in the benefits. Skip heavy creams which can add bulk to already swollen areas.
