Cucumber Crushes and Caviar Dreams: These spa treatments are good enough to eat
Cooling Cucumber - Stellar Spa
Boasting the skin-healing qualities similar to aloe vera, the cool cuke is not only a crunchy low-cal treat, it's also a well know remedy for puffy red eyes and other skin problems, and a natural source of beneficial enzymes as well as vitamins B1 and C.
To start, your esthetician rubs mineral-rich sea salts into your skin and then wraps you in plastic and heated blankets to maximize the detoxification process. As you cleanse, enjoy a face and scalp massage, followed by a hydrating mixture of honey and almond-extract oils to nourish your skin, and finish with a calming cucumber lotion to soothe your newly buffed bod.
Cucumber Crush, 1 hour, $100. Stellar Spa, 26 Tamalpais Dr., Corte Madera. 415-924-7300. stellarspa.com
