The name of this mask comes from the fresh, sea-breezy scent of a fresh cucumber. I recommend
using organic cucumber in this mask. When you start using organic fruits and vegetables in your
home cosmetics, you will be amazed how rich and vivid the scents are. Experts say that the
concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals is higher in organic veggies, too.
- Blend the cucumber in a blender or food processor. Add the aloe juice, milk, and honey.
- If the mask is too runny, add some kaolin clay until the mask forms a comfortably thick paste.
- Apply to clean, dry face and leave on for 15 minutes or until dry. Gently wash off with tepid
water.

Yield:
4 ouncesIn this mask, the antibacterial properties of honey are boosted with the antifungal and whitening
properties of lemon. Both lemon and yogurt work as excellent natural peels, helping fade postacne

vanilla create a comforting, soothing cocoon while you linger with the mask in your bath. You can
store this mask in the fridge and use it up within one week.
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until the mask thickens.
- Apply to clean, dry face and let set for 15 minutes. Gently wash off with warm water.
