• 1. Soothing Toner

  
  Puree one medium, peeled, and cut cucumber in a blender. Line a sieve with cheesecloth and set it over a glass bowl. Pour the cucumber puree through the sieve and let stand for 15 minutes. Pour the clear juice into a clean bottle and add two teaspoons of honey. Shake well. Saturate a cotton pad with the lotion, and sweep over face, neck, and chest morning and night.

  Mix two tablespoons of olive oil and half of a mashed avocado and apply it to your hair by rubbing it into the ends and massaging it up towards the roots. Wrap your hair in plastic cap and let it sit for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat this routine once or twice a month.
