The
Spa at Crocodile Bay,
Feature of the Month:
Sea Salt Polish
Sea
salt is produced by the evaporation of water from
the brine of the sea. Areas of production include the Cayman
Islands, France, Ireland, Colombia, Sicily, Italy, the Mediterranean
and Maine and Cape Cod in the United States. The combination
of water and sea salt is the basis of many powerful therapeutic
treatments for various dry skin conditions such as psoriasis.
Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, discovered the therapeutic
qualities of seawater by noticing the healing effects it had
on the injured hands of fishermen.
The
Spa at Crocodile Bay, Costa Rica invites you to
experience our Sea
Salt Polish. The sensory rewards of this invigorating,
deeply cleansing treatment are a radiant afterglow and skin
that is soft as silk to the touch.
The
Sea Salt Polish
Sea salt granules, rich in magnesium, zinc, calcium, potassium
and iodine, mixed with green tea and the oils of olives, sunflowers,
rosemary, lemongrass and peppermint, are used to gently scrub
away dry, flaky skin in a gentle motion that increases blood
circulation, relaxes muscles and stimulates the elimination
of toxins. This process not only cleans your skin but assists
in the rejuvenation of new, healthy skin cells.
Green
tea extract is naturally rich in antioxidants which protect
the body from free radicals; those particles in the body associated
with accelerated aging as a result of exposure to pollution,
sun and smoking. The combination of the essential oils used
in this treatment provide a refreshing, detoxifying synergy
intended to activate the lymphatic system.
Therapists
remark on how soft and glowing their own hands and lower arms
feel and look after performing this treatment.
