Palm Beach. -- Mandara Spa needs no introduction. Everything from elegant décor to new-age music and scented oils spells relaxation. With twelve richly appointed treatment rooms, and a quiet and supportive crew of therapists, Mandara Spa, says Operations Manager Marjan Walhain, offers about 300 different treatments, and is part of a famous international chain with locations around the globe, mostly in exotic places. The menu at each of those spas is tailored to that facility’s theme, design and clientele, Marjan adds.
Most treatments at Mandara Spa incorporate a Balinese foundation, where Mandara’s roots may be found, mixed in with classic European techniques, and indigenous or native-to-the-land-where-the-spa-is-located beauty secrets.
In Aruba, Marjan reveals, salt & aloe, are the most naturally available ingredients and while the spa cannot promise immortality, it certainly can deliver a radiant revitalization. And that is exactly what the spa’s new Micro-Exfoliating machine does.
It blasts the skin - face, hands and neck are most popular, with tiny crystals of salt, pure baking soda, which naturally and painlessly, remove blemishes, spots and dead cells for a fresh, smooth look, after just one treatment.
Micro-Exfoliation, remember the term - different from microdermabrasion which uses the sometimes irritating aluminum oxide crystals – is not harmful to eyes, lips, and best of all you may resume your day immediately following treatment, no blotches, no marks, no reddishness.
Marjan reports that treatment once a week for a series of four or five sessions is recommended in order to kiss dull skin good-bye.
