Gemstones are the next big thing in beauty treatments.
The beauty industry has been hot on gemstones for quite some time and South Florida is no exception. Here are a few of our favorite treatments with precious rocks that have actually been used in healing rituals for hundreds of years.
The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental
The Kundalini Journey Treatment This divine journey combines advanced massage techniques with aromatherapy, color and gemstone therapy as well as sound therapy to help your stressed mind (and body) completely and totally chill out. Performed in a luxurious Mandarin Spa Suite, this amazing experience ends with a gift to help you incorporate your newfound peace and balance into your daily life. $360, mandarinoriental.com/miami.
ESPA at Acqualina Resort and Spa
80-minute Ultimate Performance Facial One step into this incredible property transports you to the Italian Riviera. Once there, (in spirit and mind), further your transition into an utterly relaxing state by starting your spa journey with the gift of a Himalayan salt stone, said to have major healing properties. A Himalayan salt wall helps you find more peace and quiet in the spa’s relaxation room. All of the treatments that follow are superb but our pick is the 80-minute Ultimate Performance Facial, which incorporates Chinese medicine into a luxurious anti-aging treatment that leaves your skin plump, supple, bright and totally refreshed. $395, acqualinaresort.com.
