The eyelids: are a common location for edema accumulation at night. Some beauticians advise the use of cucumber slices on the eyes in the morning . Although cucumbers may have a natural diuretic effect their usefulness "locally" is somewhat questionable. A more scientific approach might be to limit your SALT intake in the evening meal or late night snacks! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
