Touch of Beauty: Exotic Beauty Treatment
Text by Irina Jusuf
Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. But women know that a healthy body combined with a relaxed mind and soul reflects true beauty.
Chocoholics Delight
This fusion of techniques from the Philippines restores harmony, health and wellness. After indulging with a chocolate body scrub to remove toxins and damaged cells, you will enjoy a relaxing Jacuzzi bath. Then, warm chocolate mud is applied over your entire body and wrapped in strips of banana leaf laced with pure virgin coconut oil. Complete this lavish treatment with a body massage of chocolate and coconut body butter, protecting your skin with antioxidants and leaving a lustrous healthy glow. You can find this special treatment at Beach Republic Asian Fusion Spa in Thailand.
Beer Bath Therapy
The beer bath is one of the premier treatments offered by Pilsen Beer Spa & Wellness Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic. A specially designed bathtub of fine-textured wood is filled with beer from a special batch mixed with other materials and “served” at a relaxing temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. The therapist recommends that you dunk your head and face in the tub to get the maximum benefit. The vitamins and minerals contained in the beer are said to restore skin elasticity, eliminate acne and lighten the skin. If done regularly, it is said that the beer bath therapy is good for your hair.
Golf Ball Massage
This treatment uses heated golf balls as a massage tool. The surface of the golf ball puts a relaxing pressure on the muscles and nerves as it is rolled over your body by the therapist. The result is a more relaxed and pliable body. Feel the sensation of this therapy at the Evian Resort in France.
Gold Facial
Who said gold was only for jewellery? This facial treatment using 24-carat gold powder is believed to improve skin firmness, fight free radicals and brighten the skin, leaving your face “golden”. This unique treatment can be experienced at Gold Dust Beauty Lounge in Canggu, Bali.
Caviar Pedicure
Caviar is famous as one of the world’s most luxurious foods. But black caviar is also known as an effective tool for pedicure treatments thanks to its high protein content. Black caviar is used for foot scrubs, masks and massages. A touch of green apples adds a pleasant aroma to the whole affair. This treatment can be experienced at the Newbury Street Spa in Boston.
Ginger Salt Body Glow
This invigorating treatment exfoliates the whole body with sea salt, ginger root and a mixture of rich oils to deeply moisturise the skin. This full-body exfoliation helps revitalize the body, with the combination of products helping to deeply cleanse and moisturise the skin. Visit Spa Grande at Grand Wailea Resort in Hawaii to try this amazing body treatment.
