Water Works
Water takes a luxurious turn as a prevalent presence during the Citrus Ritual at Royal Palms Resort and Spa’s Alvadora Spa. Ninety minutes of bliss commences with an exfoliating body therapy on heated stone tables while water cascades from above. Outside, an eight-foot waterfall shower waits to provide a final rinse. After stepping out of an herbal whirlpool bath, saturated with citrus flower essences, relaxation-seekers are treated with a gentle massage with a hydrating honey and orange blossom lotion. www.royalpalmshotel.com.

Best Face
Forward Utilizing a machine so costly that it is believed to be the only one in the Valley, the HydraFacial, available at Spa Avania at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch, is a breakthrough treatment that thoroughly exfoliates skin and painlessly extracts impurities. Most importantly, the newfangled facial hydrates parched skin, which is an epidermis epidemic in the dry desert, and is a cure-all for most skin issues, from wrinkles to hyperpigmentation. www.spaavania.com
