This recipe for sweet dreams begins with a cup of calming herbal tea and oxygen inhalation therapy featuring a blend of relaxing essential oils including bergamot and sandalwood. After a soothing steam shower, the body is gently scrubbed with lavender and sugar, and then sinks into a geranium mineral bath. Fifty minutes of gentle massage concludes the ritual.
Transformational Facial Treatment (50 min. – $155)
This multi-action transformation treatment helps firm and tone skin, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Powerful exfoliators open pathways to deliver vitamins, antioxidants, and peptides deep into the face, neck, and décolleté, where active cell production takes place. An antioxidant mask helps skin regenerate at a faster rate and protect itself against free radicals that contribute to premature aging. The experience includes a restoring hand massage incorporating powerful softening agents and skin brighteners.
