Piscataqua Riverside
Body Wraps 1 hour 45 minutes, $180.
The Portsmouth Harbor Spa offers two types of body
wrap, one with a mix of French seaweeds, another
with French Rose Clay, each of which offers its
own benefits. In addition to offering the client
a choice of mud, the Piscataqua Riverside Body Wrap
includes a mini facial tailored to the client’s
skin type, and offers the client a choice between
the use of either a single essential oil or one
of our Customizing Complexes for the final, hydrating,
step. Each customized mud wrap treatment begins
with a body exfoliation, followed by the mud wrap,
finishing with a body hydrator. The Wrap treats
the entire body, including the hands and feet. A
scalp massage is included to induce a sense of overall
well being.
Step One: Exfoliation.
Unveil
a petal-soft complexion with a uniquely effective
and gentle body exfoliant comprising plant amino
acids, lactic acid, luffa, micronized buffing beads
and apricot powder, which will refine rough, flaky
skin without irritation while accelerating epidermal
cell renewal, and will replenish moisture with its
oils of avocado, jojoba, peach and sunflower.
Step Two: The Wrap (two choices)
French Seaweeds.
Firming: This potent mix of Fucus Vesiculosis,
Laminaria Digitata, Spirulina, Ulva Lactuca, Sea
Rocket and Sea Fennel offers an infusion of vitamins,
minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids and
mucilages, to stimulate the thyroid, and firm, moisturize
and detoxify skin and body.
OR
European
Rose Clay.
Hydrating: Inhale the fragrance of the Provençal
countryside as you are surrounded in a richly hydrating
cocoon. Soothing Rose Clay from Provence is carefully
sun-dried to retain its purity, and infused with
powerful source derivatives of deeply hydrating
Apricot and Wheat Amino Acids able to penetrate
the epidermis and retain four times their
weight in moisture, high potency Beta Glucan, Rosa
Centifolia and Alpha Hydroxy Lactic Acid, to provide
a multifunctional skin renewing treatment that accelerates
epidermal cell renewal, heals, protects, ensures
renewed hydration and stimulates the skin's self-protecting
mechanism against UVA-induced oxidative stress.
The ultimate in refining and extreme hydration,
perfectly suited for dry, delicate, weathered or
aged skin.
Step Three: Hydration. After
the client showers, the therapist performs the final
hydrating step using shea butter blended with a
single essential oil or Custom Cream of the client’s
choice. We offer the following: a custom Detoxifying
Cream, which includes rosemary, Echinacea, lemon,
and geranium to help stimulate circulation, support
the immune system, and ease muscular pain; a custom
Green Tea and Lime Cream, an anti-oxidant blend
which assists with soothing anxiety and improving
circulation; and a custom Milk & Honey Cream,
a vitamin, collagen and amino-acid-rich blend which
assists with hydration, protection and soothing
of the skin.
Step Four: Mini facial. The
facial which accompanies the treatment is an important
part of the Piscataqua Riverside Body Wrap. The
face is cleansed with a gentle facial cleanser,
a masque chosen by the client is applied, and after
its removal, a moisturizer or sunscreen is applied
and lightly massaged into the décolleté,
neck, and face.
Extra glasses of water are recommended in the twenty-four-hour
period following this treatment.
