More yummy but healthy beauty recipes to feed your face with from my favorite spa place SpaIndex.com: Guide to Day Spas and Stay Spas.

SENSITIVE SKIN CUCUMBER MASK

This mask is perfect for sensitive skin. Chill it in your fridge before use to make it especially soothing.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon brewer's yeast

1 tablespoon finely ground oatmeal

1 whole cucumber

2 tablespoons plain yogurt or sour cream

1 teaspoon honey

Mix together the yeast and oats in a small bowl and set aside.

Peel the cucumber and place it in a small food processor and process until only liquid remains. Add the yogurt and honey and process further to mix.

Add the brewer's yeast and oats to the cucumber/honey mixture and process to mix fully.

To use, apply to clean face and neck skin and leave on for anywhere from 15 minutes to a half hour. Rinse well and follow with toner and moisturizer.

QUICK CUCUMBER PARSLEY FACIAL

The next time you make a salad, set aside just 3 tablespoons of basic ingredients, and you've got yourself a quick facial, to be enjoyed while soaking in the tub before bed. You cannot get any easier, or quicker, than this.

1 Tbsp. Plain yogurt

1 Tbsp. Cucumber

1 Tbsp. Parsley

Puree (or use your handy rotating chopper — you know you bought one) the cucumber and parsley finely and mix with the yogurt until smooth. Cover your face with this creamy mask. This will rejuvenate your skin as it moistens. Leave the mask on for approximately 15-20 minutes for best results. Rinse with water. Do not store this mixture. Especially over a long weekend.

Frozen Egg & Honey Facial Mask

Recommended for dry skin

1 egg

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted (but not hot)

1 tbs. honey

Step 1: Beat the egg in a small bowl until frothy and well-mixed. Slowly add the liquid coconut oil and honey, beating until your mask is the consistency of mayonnaise.

Step 2: Take an empty toilet tissue roll and set it on end in a clean bowl. Spoon mixture into the cardboard toilet paper roll (or consider using an empty deodorant container). Place tube, in the bowl, in the freezer overnight.

Step 3: To use, peel away just the top 1/4 inch of the cardboard roll and smooth the frozen stick over your face (think of it as a push up pop). Leave your mask on for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

Return the cream stick covered with plastic wrap and frozen between uses.

Particularly soothing on a sunburn. Keeps indefinitely.
