Sanctuary on Camelback Spa

 

While Sanctuary doesn’t offer specific holiday services, here are some that feature winter ingredients and are great for dry, winter skin:

Bodhi Stimulating Body Treatment

Black pepper, clove and kaffir lime give Sanctuary Spa’s Bodhi Stimulating Bodhi Treatment an autumnal appeal. The spa begins this purifying body ritual with a gentle body polish to prepare the skin for a spicy warming body mask wrap.  As the spices stimulate blood vessels for better circulation, nourishes the skin and invigorates the metabolism, warm herbal poultices are gently massaged to contour and lift the facial muscles. The treatment ends with a relaxing Swedish-style massage using a blend of black pepper, clove bud and kaffir lime essential oils help to breakdown fatty deposits, eliminate toxins and increase lymphatic drainage. The Bodhi Stimulating Body Treatment is priced Monday through Thursday at $235 for 90 minutes and $300 for two hours; Friday through Sunday at $245 for 90 minutes and $310 for two hours.

Signature Wakai Renewal

A Japanese word that means both “mature” and “youthful,” the concept of wakai is embodied in this aromatic ritual at Sanctuary Spa. The renewal process begins with a results-oriented exfoliation, bathing the body in nutrients and minerals which saturate the skin with intense moisturizers. The treatment includes a wrap with an anti-oxidant mask that helps to maintain skin’s youthfulness with anti-inflammatory properties. While wrapped, patrons will enjoy a scalp and neck massage with a revitalizing fresh berry serum, followed by a 30-minute full body massage using cloudberries – the highest known source of vitamin C.

Resurfacing Treatment

This replenishing treatment is a great option for ongoing care and deep exfoliation. This simple resurfacing treatment uses a glycolic solution to instantly dissolve dead skin layers and decongest blocked pores while targeting the repair of redness and irritation caused by daily environmental exposure. Those experiencing this treatment will notice that their skin is dramatically smoother, softer and more hydrated.
