LUXE SPA INTRODUCES NEW THERAPIES
The next time you’re thinking about treating yourself to a facial or a massage, consider this: The spa at the Mandarin Oriental, Atlanta hotel has launched four new treatments based on the renowned Spanish-owned Natura Bissé skincare line it just started carrying. The O2 Awakening facial, for example, visibly reverses the effects of toxins and pollutants using the power of pure oxygen. The almost two hour- long Moments of Tranquility experience includes an aromatherapy body alignment, full-body exfoliation, nourishing wrap and targeted therapeutic massage. The Natura Bissé treatments start at $160, and would make a great gift for anyone in your life who needs pampering.
