The Eco-spa Trend

We know that processed junk food is unhealthy, and that the convenience comes at a price. The same is true of skincare products. Ready-made processed products with chemicals, preservative, parabens, colour and synthetic ingredients are convenient but at what price for the health of your skin? Chemical laden products are potentially toxic and inferior to freshly crafted, wholesome and natural ingredients. The eco-spa embraces blending green lifestyle and wellness trends with authentic spa rituals. The eco-spa offers local ingredients, uncovering regional traditions and natural ambience and crafts unique and organic lotions and potions which are natural, holistic and environmentally friendly. Holistic body treatments are thoughtful and come from a place of purity from chemical, preservative free, synthetic free products.

Mii Amo in Sedona, Ariz., offers products to scrub and cleanse the body made from blue corn and a succulent plant called stonecrop, while an eagle feather is waved as part of a ceremony to cleanse the spirit, inspired by local American Indian culture.

The new Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Mayakoba on Mexico's Riviera Maya uses cacao, papaya, honey, lime and cornmeal for body wraps, and corn meal and papaya treatments for hands.
Brazilian Cabana Spa Sensation offers a mellow out session comprising gentle body exfoliation with Brazilian Cane Sugar and Pineapple enzyme to remove impurities and slough away dead skin cells. The body is slathered with hand-crafted body mask infused with lime, lemon and a twist of coconut.

The eco-friendly retreat is set in natural surroundings. In order to make you forget completely about the hectic life in the city, the spa retreat is set among lush landscape with beautiful flora. Holistic body treatments contain only natural botanicals, and the nutritional menu substitutes the artificial ingredients for natural ones. The idea of environment-friendly setting is incorporated even in the rooms design and features, such as 100% organic cotton linen or products from natural material.

An eco spa uses as many recycled properties as possible in its building and its usage. For instance, wood rather than metal and plastic. Everything is as natural and chemical free as possible. Besides offering an earthy environment and green products, eco-conscious spa’s are particular about cleaning agents. Typically they offer organic cotton sheets, ropes, and towels.
