The
Spa at Crocodile Bay Feature of the Month: The Coffee Polish
The
Spa at Crocodile Bay
is part of a world-class sport fishing and eco tour destination
called Crocodile Bay Resort located in the small coastal town
of Puerto Jimenez, on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. The
Spa offers more than 20 treatments
using natural, organic ingredients extracted from the bio-diverse
regions of the country’s mountains, volcanoes and rain
forests that span the Caribbean Sea to the east and Pacific
Ocean to the west.
The
exportation of coffee has contributed to the economy of Costa
Rica for many years. This product yields ingredients that
have become the source of one of the spa’s signature
treatments: The Coffee Polish.
The
Coffee Polish -
Exfoliation is the process of removing dead, dull skin cells.
Coffee grounds, sugar cane, ginger and cinnamon are mixed
with olive oil and orange oil to provide the exfoliate used
by the therapists in gentle scrubbing motions that stimulate
body circulation and contribute to the elimination of toxins.
Once showered, you will immediately notice how your skin has
been restored to a balance of increased smoothness, suppleness
and revitalization. Body scrubs and polishes are recommended
twice a month to maintain healthy skin.
The
therapists at Crocodile Bay Spa constantly remark on the improved
condition of a client’s skin after the treatment. Therapists
and clients alike enjoy the aromas generated throughout the
process.

just how different my skin could look and feel; it really
was radiant. I loved the experience and felt the tingling
results of this treatment for the rest of the day and night.”
