Winter wreaks havoc on our skin. Drinking plenty of water, even in the winter, is also essential for healthy, hydrated skin! To help rejuvenate, rehydrate, and refresh your skin this season, indulge in these treatments at our Upstate New York spa resort. From our Moss Hydrating Body Mask to our Ginger Rejuvenator treatment, these top five picks are designed to undo damage from the cold, dry elements and restore your skin to good health.

Moss Hydrating Body Mask

In honor of the soft, gentle cover that is found throughout the grounds, this detoxifying treatment, with its body massage and gentle cocoon, incorporates a mineral-rich seaweed serum fortified with a potent blend of anti-inflammatory moss extracts. Aiding in the elimination of toxins from the body, this treatment rehydrates and revitalizes the skin. (45 min)

Exfoliating Body Glow

Choose a revitalizing body polish designed to stimulate the circulatory system and the senses, featuring rich minerals along with fresh herbal extract. (45 min)

• Rosemary Citron Scrub – An energizing rosemary and mineral-rich sea salt combination to exfoliate rough, dry skin.
• Espresso Mud Scrub – A rich, earthy mud scrub featuring ground Arabica beans.
• Lemongrass Mimosa – Micronized walnut shells and bamboo remove dull, dry skin.

The Moss Hydrating Body Mask and the Exfoliating Body Glow can be combined for a 75-minute service.

Moisture Drench Healing Facial

This healing and restorative facial is ideal for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. It’s designed to calm inflammation and redness and immediately replenishes the skin with deeply hydrating botanical blends.

A Hibiscus Enzyme Peel soothes and calms stressed skin, as well as enhancing the skin’s ability to hold moisture. A nourishing facial massage featuring Gotu Kola Healing Balm leaves the skin radiant and protected from harsh environmental elements. (50 min)

Ginger Rejuvenator

Indulge in this new ultra-moisturizing treatment that smooths away tension, hydrates the skin, and warms the spirit with the beneficial properties of ginger root, lemongrass, cinnamon, and peppermint. This full-sensory spa experience focuses on your back, hands, and feet to ease muscle strain and ground the mind. (50 or 80 min)

Eco-Fin Hand or Foot Treatment Enhancement

Eco-Fin, a natural blend of palm, soy, jojoba, and organic coconut oils, is a petroleum-free alternative to paraffin. This can be added on to any body treatment or facial service, as well as manicures and pedicures.
