Cool and Refreshing Homemade Thai Facial

This homemade Thai facial is based upon a recipe used by women in Thailand for centuries.

It's a staple in spas throughout Thailand and Indonesia, but you don't need a plane ticket to Asia to reap the benefits; you can whip it up in your own kitchen in no time!

One of our easiest homemade spa recipes, all it takes is 3 simple ingredients.

The lime juice and honey in the facial will cleanse and smooth your skin and minimize the appearance of pores. The cucumbers are cool and refreshing - and taking a break while it takes effect is a bonus!

This is a nice, cooling facial that's great for summer.
