I mean, what do I do with the cucumbers after I'm done with them? And how long should the cucumbers stay on my face? Should I rinse my face after?

1)I would toss the cucumber slices after you use them.

2)Slice them thin, but not so thin that you can see through them. They have to be able to bend to the curve of your eye. Leave them for about ten minutes.

3)Don't worry about rinsing your face unless you really want to. Cucumbers are excellent as an all over toner for your face.

On a side note, I also like to use very cheap black or green tea bags soaked in water. Freeze them overnight, then the next day, when you're ready, let them thaw out for about 5 minutes and put them on your eyes. I'll swear by it, it's awesome!

Place your cucumber slices in a bowl with ice water for 10 minutes to get them nice and chilly, then place them on your eyes for another 10 minutes. I think they work much better when you chill them first. When you are done, rinse with cool water and you're done! Definelty will reduce puffiness. Another trick is to put a couple of spoons in the freezer until they get really cold. Then hold the spoon under your eye. This also reduces puffiness.

All great answers above. I just wanted to add, to be very careful using black tea bags. The tea stains your skin because it has tannin in it. I would not recommend using them. It is very hard to remove the stains. I have seen people use tea bags, take them off and have light brown stains around their eyes. Seriously!

Also, I know people who mush the cucumber up before applying it.
