Planting the Seeds

As part of their greening efforts, some spa owners are growing organic ingredients in their business's own backyard. Grown in a small veggie garden or tiny pots of herbs, these ingredients ensure freshness and add home-grown flavor to a spa's treatments, skin care and cuisine. If you're thinking of growing your own spa ingredients, you don't have to go it alone. Whether you're known for your green thumb or struggle to keep cacti alive, these resources can help your garden grow:

Star Treatment: Mimosa Champagne Holiday Facial

     

Forget what you've heard about alcohol dehydrating the skin. The Spa at St Julien Hotel and Spa (www.stjulien.com/spa.htm) in Boulder, Colorado, is proving that corking the bubbly can actually be a beneficial skincare treatment. Inspired by the DiVine collection of products from Èminence Organics, the Mimosa Champagne Holiday Facial (50 minutes/$135) is the toast of the season.

Imbibing in this treatment won't bring about the puffy eyes, blotchy skin or anything else associated with too much fun at a holiday party. The treatment includes a Mimosa Champagne Tonique product with champagne grapes to help tighten the skin and promote a radiant appearance.

The spa designed the treatment to cater to clients getting ready for holiday parties. It also sought to deviate from the predictable ingredients of the season, although the treatment still offers an optional Yam & Pumpkin Enyzme peel.

Let the drinks be served.


The Protocol

1. The esthetician performs a skin analysis, and chooses the cleanser appropriate for the client's skin type.

2. The esthetician exfoliates the client's skin using Éminence Organic Pear & Poppy Seed Microderm Polisher or the Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel.

3. The Mimosa Champagne Tonique is applied to detoxify, tone and hydrate the skin.

4. Éminence Organic Mimosa Champagne Massage Oil is rubbed into the face, neck and shoulders.

5. The esthetician applies the Éminence Organic Quince & Ice Wine Masque.

6. The client receives a hand and arm massage. Then, the mask is massaged into the skin and removed with a warm compress.

7. The esthetician applies another Tonique application followed by a moisturizer appropriate for the client's skin type.

8. The Éminence Organic Herbal Eye Contour is applied to the client's eye area.

9. The client returns to the lounge to enjoy a mimosa.
