Tinseltown Toes
Spa Montage at Montage Beverly Hills (CA) is giving guests a fabulous foot treatment to remember with the Beverly Hills Pedicure ($150, 75 minutes). After being greeted with a glass of complimentary Champagne and a warm neck pillow, guests are treated to a foot exfoliation and a warm stone massage. A highlight of the pedicure is an application of a hydrating body polish infused with real 24-karat gold flakes to nourish the skin and provide a shimmery finish. “When we sought to create the Beverly Hills Pedicure at Spa Montage, we partnered with celebrity manicurist and entrepreneur Deborah Lippmann,” says spa director Kim Cadra. “We feature this luxury nail, hand, and foot polish collection that utilizes the very best ingredients, including aloe vera, biotin, and green tea. The polish choices are bold, opulent, and glamorous—just like the city of Beverly Hills.” For Deborah Lippmann products: www.deborahlippmann.com.—H.M.
The Velvet Touch
■
To get soft, silky skin, spa-goers at Vito Mazza Salon & Spa (Woodbridge, NJ) opt for the Velvet Skin Massage ($85, 50 minutes). Ideal for winter, this restorative treatment works to enrich the skin with amino acids, minerals, trace elements, and vitamins to smooth the look of wrinkles. After a dry brush exfoliation, the body is massaged and treated to applications of Repêchage Vita Cura Triple Action Nutri Oil and Nutri Crème. “This is a favorite treatment of ours, because it marries the calming and soothing effects of a full-body massage with the restoration of healthier, younger looking skin,” says spa director Christie Citsay. “This two-in-one service truly provides wellbeing for the body and soul.” For Repêchage products: www.repechage.com.—H.M.
ingredient to watch: chia seeds Thanks to the nutritional punch they pack, chia seeds are all the rage these days among health-conscious eaters. However, they’re also proving to be beneficial to the skin. As a result, [ comfort zone ] has incorporated this flowering plant from the mint family into its Longevity Complex, an exclusive blend used in the company’s anti-aging Skin Regimen line. “By now, we know how essential omega-3 is for the heart,” says Jimmy Moss, director of education North America. “The same is true for the skin. Chia seeds have been found to be the vegetable source richest in omega-3 fatty acids.” Playing a key role in the Skin Regimen Juvenate Body Scrub, the seeds infuse the skin with omega-3 fatty acids when the scrub is massaged into the skin. “Medical research shows that omega-3s help the body fight against inflammation and maintain a healthy cellular membrane structure,” says Moss. “This aids in diminishing redness and inhibiting wrinkles. More importantly, it helps in restoring vital moisture and nutrients that ence two treatments that feature chia can book the Skin Regimen Longevity Face Treatment ($60, 30 minutes) and the Skin Regimen Longevity Body Treatment ($75, 30 minutes) from [ comfort zone ]. Another fan of chia seeds is board-certified dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, M.D. Founder of the skincare line Perricone MD, he recommends using the oil extracted from the seeds to replenish moisture to the skin. In fact, Perricone MD incorporates the healthy ingredient in its Chia Oil Serum, which Perricone suggests adding a few drops to a favorite moisturizer.
