Organic Succulent Cactus Facial
Following a skin evaluation to determine your skin type and a gentle exfoliation, fresh pulp from the stone crop cactus plant are worked into the skin to soothe and revitalize. This facial deep cleanses the skin and is highly recommended for pigmented skin or for those who have spent extended amount of time in the sun.
(50 minutes)
Cucumber and Peppermint Oxygenating Facial
Nature recognizes the need for balance, growth and health, as does your skin. A refined blend of fruits and herbal extracts can restore this natural balance within your skin. Deficiencies of oxygen can result in a dull, devitalized and often hyper-pigmented complexion. With bits of cucumber and refreshing peppermint layered on your skin, this facial brightens, clarifies and evens the skin tone with an organic touch. You will leave glowing! (50 minutes)
Anti-Aging Desert Fruits and Spice Facial
A highly stimulating anti-aging treatment for all skin types, this exquisite facial includes stimulating chili as well as other natural spices to give skin clarity and increase circulation.

Detoxifying Desert Fruit Body Wrap

BODY EXFOLIATIONS
Exfoliation eliminates dead skin cells at the surface. It also serves to oxygenate the body, improve circulation and leave the skin clean, soft and revitalized. Ideally, exfoliation is used prior to a body wrap or bath to improve absorption of its nutrients and minerals. It is also a great treatment to have at the start of your vacation, as it will allow a longer lasting and more even tan (refrain from shaving or sunbathing two (2) hours prior to this treatment).
Exotic Fruit Body Polish
For more sensitive skin, this exotic fruit “cocktail” mixture will leave your skin soft and your body invigorated.
