(HealthNewsDigest.com) - A few weeks ago, I had a chance to revisit one of my favorite places for spa treatments. Joanna Vargas Salon on Fifth Avenue. I can say wholeheartedly that one of her latest offerings, the Cool as a Cucumber Mint Body Wrap is great.

You remember of course, all of those commercials that always showed women with their head in a towel laying back on a beach chair by the pool, their face covered in some kind of mask and last but not least, the cucumbers over their eyes. It has been a long held ritual to use the cucumber for the delicate area around the eye in relieving puffiness, but who would have thought to utilize its properties in a body wrap. It turns out that the cucumber has nothing but good things to offer our skin.

The extract of the cucumber offers not only natural moisturizing properties that soothe the skin’s surface without any damage to the skin, but it is easily absorbed into the epidermal layer and has Vitamin C in abundance so that the skin feels very soft and supple. Add to that the natural emollient of the cucumber that lends itself to the removal of dead cells without any discomfort. That is what is magical about the process of the initial body scrub with the mint. It is warm, invigorating and you feel revitalized in the process. The sugar in the scrub produces glycolic acid, alpha hydroxyl acid, which is a natural exfoliate. The mint tops the package with its wonderful aroma. Mint is a natural hydrator, cleanser, anti-inflammatory to protect the skin. It’s a natural refresher for the body; that’s why it appears in our hair products and toothpastes.

Finally, you are given an herbal cellulite treatment before you are sent on your way for a deep sleep or relaxing rest with lovely music and attentive staff. For one hour you are wrapped up on the table under warm towels to let the wrap go to work.

When it is time to end the wrap, you are given a soufflé of cucumber mint body butter rub that just feels fantastic!

Try it and see.
