Health & Beauty: A fast and easy way to remove the appearance of cellulite or wrinkles before going out to the pool is to rub a slice or two of cucumbers along the problem areas for a few minutes (Of course, if one ate more cucumbers to begin with, one probably wouldn't have these problems). Eating a few cucumber slices before going to bed can help to prevent hangovers (You shouldn't be drinking anyway). Pressing some cucumber on the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds can help to freshen the breath. Rubbing some under the arms can also be a great deodorizer.
