Puffy eyes after swimming? Could cucumber oil help?

Elegant Hippie Swimmers Soothing Eye Roller could be the solution.

Product Review: The Latest offering for post swimming goggle eyes whether in the pool or wild swimming in the lake, or, sea.

As autumn begins, some brave individuals continue to take outdoor dips, while others are transitioning to indoor pools. We examined the impact of cucumber oil on the skin after swimming. Can it help reduce post-swim puffiness?

Cucumbers?

When it comes to skincare, cucumbers are not just a cliché but actually offer numerous benefits for the skin. Cucumbers are packed with antioxidants and vitamins such as C and K, which help nourish and revitalize the skin. They have a high water content, making them incredibly hydrating and refreshing when applied topically. The coolness of cucumbers can help reduce puffiness and soothe tired eyes, hence their common association with spa treatments.

Furthermore, cucumbers possess anti-inflammatory properties that can calm irritated skin and reduce redness. They also contain silica, a mineral that contributes to improved skin elasticity and can help combat signs of aging. They are gentle and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Can you make an oil from cucumbers?

It might make for a tasty treat post swim but it is not really that practical to sit around post swim with a couple of slices delicately balanced on your eyes. So can the natural properties of cucumbers be extracted into a more practical oil?

Certainly! Indeed, it can! Cucumber base oil is a natural extract obtained from cucumbers using a careful method that preserves its mild and calming characteristics. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, cucumber base oil aids in moisturising and revitalizing the skin, resulting in a smooth and flexible feel. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory attributes make it perfect for calming irritated or sensitive skin making it the perfect choice for post swimming skincare.

Recognising the excellent qualities of cucumbers, Elegant Hippie has created an eye roller that captures and utilises these benefits effectively after swimming. Their commitment to being entirely natural makes it ideal for sensitive skin. Infused with gentle natural oils, they have delicately scented it to produce a nourishing product that rejuvinates the delicate skin surrounding the eyes.

So is Elegant Hippie's soothing eye roller any good?

We distributed Elegant Hippie's calming eye rollers to a team of local channel swimmers for their feedback, which was overwhelmingly positive!

They liked the convenience of a simple roller. Very easy to pop in a bag and take with you. The application is quick and easy but effective. The oil is not overpowered by fragrance but has a delicate scent of chamomile and frankincense. Applying the oil gave a soothing experience that users reported reducing puffiness after swimming, along with hydrated and less irritated skin. Overall it was highly praised and now features in all of their swimming bags.

The eye rollers can be purchased directly from Elegant Hippie's website, where they offer a whole range of 100% natural skincare products as well as various gift sets showcasing their wonderful organic products. Maybe a gift for yourself, or, that adventurous friend?
