Coco-Therapy

December 4, 2012 | By Nadine Kam

Indulge yourself and try these coconut-infused spa treatments.

Coconut is a frequent guest at the dining table, but few realize it’s as nourishing outside the body as inside. Its oils and alkalizing water possess natural anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties. Used on skin, it creates a topical barrier that helps to avoid infection and promote healthy, glowing skin. Your body will eat it up.

HERE ARE SEVERAL SPAS OFFERING COCONUT-INFUSED TREATMENTS:

Elemis Exotic Coconut Rub and Milk Ritual Wrap

A traditional Balinese recipe of coconut, mung bean, lavender and spices polishes the skin, followed by the divine sensation of a warm monoi oil and milk bath drizzled over your body. While the natural ingredients go to work reviving tired skin, muscles and joints, you’ll also enjoy a relaxing scalp massage. Includes a 25or 50-minute massage for $150 or $215, respectively.
