apple and cucumber face mask for oily skin

Instructions:
Blend all of the ingredients except the essential oil in a blender. Stir in the oil last. Apply to your face and neck avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 20-minutes. Rinse off the facial mask with warm water.
oatmeal and yogurt face mask for all skin types

- 1 tbsp oatmeal, finely ground
- 1 tbsp live, organic yogurt (skip the flavored stuff)
- A few drops of honey
Preparation:
Add the yogurt to the oatmeal in a small bowl and mix together.
Warm a few drop of honey. To do this, warm a spoon under hot water for a minute, then add a few drops of honey to the spoon.
Stir the honey into the yogurt and oatmeal mixture.

Banana & Avocado Deep Conditioning Treatment for Dry Hair
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp of wheatgerm oil (I said to Stephanie, "Wheatgerm oil? Who has wheatgerm oil hanging around the house?" and she looked at me as if was the only person she knew who doesn't use wheatgerm oil on a regular basis). You can substitute olive oil if you, like me, don't have wheatgerm oil or time to run to your health food store for some.
- A few drops of essential oils, such as lavender, rose, sweet orange, or jasmine. Stephanie uses essential oils to mask the smell of the wheatgerm oil.
Preparation:
Mash all of the ingredients in a bowl or better yet, use a blender. Shampoo hair, comb it out and towel-dry. Apply mask to hair, including the scalp if you want. Or you can just deep condition the ends. Put hair in a shower cap or wrap it in Saran Wrap and let it sit for about 15 minutes, longer if you prefer. Rinse mask out in the shower. Place a heavy duty paper towel over the drain to catch the avocado and banana bits.
