AN EYE ON CUCUMBERS
Natural Beauty Recipes from Spa Grande
Are you experiencing puffy eyes from stress or dry skin from
the harsh winter? David Erlich, spa director of Spa Grande at the Grand Wailea
Resort Hotel & Spa, shares some easy tips for those at home in need of spa
therapy. Common items found at home or at the store can make a world of
difference. Spa Grande recommends cucumbers, which are easily available at the
local supermarket. A long-standing favorite, cucumbers’ qualities are far more
than a wives’ tale. The vegetable has a very high water, silicon, and sodium
content which helps soothe and cool eyes. Cucumbers aid in toning and firming
the skin while reducing effects of lifestyle stress. The sodium content helps
draw excess water from the tissue surrounding the eyes, reducing puffiness. Use cucumber to relieve: Puffiness Directions:
Cut slices of cucumbers and place on bed of ice. Relax with eyes closed and place a cucumber slice on each eye. Rest for ten minutes with the cucumbers in place. (Avoid using if you
have allergies or sensitivities to cucumbers.) For more information about this or the Grand Wailea Resort,
