Winter Glow with Sensaura Day Spa
Soft, beautifully-rejuvenated skin is just a treatment away, discovers Melanie Rosettenstein after experiencing Sensaura Day Spa’s Ocean Bliss Volcanic Mineral Wrap.
It was one of those Mondays when I needed another weekend to recover from my weekend. After being in the sun and wind supporting my children at multiple sports matches from Friday to Sunday, my skin felt battered and some pampering time was necessary.
Cue Sensaura Day Spa, a soothing sanctuary located just off Noosa’s bustling Hastings Street.
As I walked up the stairs I could sense my rushed feelings disappear as my therapist, the lovely and serene Annie, took me through the 90-minute Ocean Bliss Volcanic Mineral Wrap. Annie explained that the first part of the treatment was quite a mechanical, cleansing process, where dead skin cells would be removed to improve circulation and skin renewal.
Followed by a relaxing mud wrap, a blissful head massage and facial and a nurturing application of the Ocean Bliss Body Lotion, this 90 minute treatment combines it all giving you time to truly unwind.
“Winter skin is dry, so full body treatments like the Oceanic Bliss Volcanic Mineral Wrap are great for getting rid of dead skin cells, promoting skin renewal, and improving circulation,” she said.
Just the ticket for a weary mum.
After showing me to one of the Spa’s tranquil treatment rooms, I was excited for my 90 minutes of bliss to begin.
Face-down on the treatment bed, Annie wafted Fragonia scent gently under my nose to alleviate stress and awaken the senses and I instantly felt my muddled thoughts clear as I relaxed into the experience.
The treatment began with an invigorating magnesium salt and coconut oil scrub. As Annie used this magic combination to gently scrub away dead skin cells, the magnesium helped to relieve my tight muscles.
Tingling all over and feeling oh-so-soft, it was time for phase two – the nutrient-rich purifying mud wrap with warm ginger root and sea kelp.
This ultra-hydrating wrap flushes out nasty toxins, reduces inflammation, and rehydrates your skin.
Once applied, Annie wrapped me up in a warm soothing cocoon, letting the wrap work its wizardry while treating me to a blissful mini facial and head massage.
A triple whammy of rich elements, the mini facial begins with the Synthesis Soothe Cleansing Oil which nourishes the skin while gently removing any impurities and makeup.
Next, the Renew Enzyme Cleanser gently dissolves dead skin cells and helps reduce pore size before the All 4 One Facial Exfoliant and Mask, deeply exfoliates, detoxifies, and cleanses.
The cherry on top was a relaxing head massage to let the mask and wrap fully entrench itself on my skin.
Now fully out of my head and enjoying a moment of pure zen, I reluctantly emerged from my cocoon and got up for a hot shower before settling back into the final stage of the treatment — the Ocean Bliss Moisturiser.
Rich with shea butter and jojoba oil, this lotion is designed to maintain the moisture and oil balance within your skin, leaving it with a revitalised glow.
Sadly, 90 minutes was up and my treatment had to end but as I emerged from Sensaura Day Spa (transformed but admittedly a bit wobbly on my feet), my skin felt renewed and aglow and I felt ready for a productive week ahead.
For those like me looking for a zen-like full-body treatment that also has far-reaching benefits like improving circulation and supporting the lymphatic system, look no further than Sensaura Day Spa’s sensational Ocean Bliss Volcanic Mineral Wrap.
This could be easily become my new winter ritual.
