Stressed out from the holidays and in search of a relaxing pick-me-up? Put the shopping bags down and indulge in a holiday-themed treatment at Spa Desert Springs, located at the Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort in Palm Desert, California.
“The holidays are always a stressful time of year,” says Dawn Ferraro, Spa Director at Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort & Spa in Palm Desert.
“These new spa treatments offer guests an opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation, while enjoying the multiple benefits of seasonal ingredients. For example, peppermint oil is a natural pick-me-up, and pumpkin enzymes revitalize the skin.”
During the Peppermint Pick-Me-Up spa treatment, the skin is prepared with a dry brush exfoliation, followed by an application of a thyme, peppermint, and spearmint-scented body scrub. The body is wrapped in warm towels, allowing the oils in the scrub to penetrate the skin. After the body is rinsed, the skin is treated with a rich hydrating cream of lavender, lemon, and rosemary. The Pumpkin-Cranberry Facial incorporates pumpkin as a natural glycolic to increase exfoliation; the fruit enzymes in the cranberry digest surface skin cells. The spa treatment concludes with the application of a nourishing antioxidant-rish masque that hydrates and revitalizes the skin.
The holiday Palm Desert spa treatments are available through December 31, 2009 at a price of $99/each at the JW Marriott Palm Desert Resort.
