NEW! Holistic 24-Karat Gold Facial

The only thing better than chocolate this Valentine’s Day, is gold. Let us introduce you to our next obsession: the Holistic 24-Karat Gold Facial. This treatment banks on the healing properties and natural heat energy source that certified, cosmetic-grade gold leaf emits. The results? Oxygenation is encouraged, lymphatic flow is improved and those pesky toxins and impurities our skin loves to hate are banished. Gold sheets are applied as a masque and pressed into the skin leaving behind a radiant, some might say, golden sheen. Our 24-karat gold leaf facial masque is perfect for all skin types giving instant firmness and radiance, and smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles. Combined with a nourishing moisturizing masque, your skin will be perfectly hydrated and rejuvenated. Organic never looked so good!

This month, try our 75 minute Holistic 24-Karat Gold Facial for only $165. Your treatment uses the highest quality organic skin care by Dr. Haushka and includes a personalized deep cleansing masque, lymphatic drainage massage, and of course, our 24-karat gold leaf masque that is massaged into the skin. Before the application of our finishing creams, our scalp, hand and foot massage will leave you feeling the love of Valentine’s Day all over again.

Digging Up the Goods on Gold

Gold prevents collagen depletion and the breakdown of elastin, which can cause sagging skin. It also stimulates cellular growth to regenerate new, healthy, firm skin. Since 1929, gold has been successfully used to treat rheumatoid arthritis by reducing inflammation. These anti-inflammatory properties are linked to a decrease in melanin production, which reduces age spots while also fighting free radicals to prevent future signs of aging. Because gold is shiny, it also leaves your skin radiant and glowing. Move over diamonds, it looks like gold is a girl’s new best friend.

The Eye Revival Treatment

After a month of trying to get back into your routine and catch up on business, family or self, February brings that feeling of wanting to get away and recharge the body. If the beach is still not in the plans, sweetgrassspa has the perfect pick me up to get over the mid-winter hump. Our 30 minute Eye Revival Treatment will relieve tired and puffy eyes, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This refreshing treatment will diminish under-eye circles and leave you feeling revitalized and ready for any meeting or deadline. Your treatment begins with a facial cleanse and exfoliation, while a detoxifying eye massage is performed to reduce puffiness and drain toxins from the skin. A calming hydrating masque is applied over the eyes, followed by a firming contour masque that will firm, reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Enjoy a nourishing hand treatment while you relax during a scalp massage. The eye revival is completed with a customized application of a finishing face and eye cream. BONUS: You will also go home with a Dermalogica eye cream to ensure you stay bright eyed every day!
