HAVASUPAI FALLS REJUVENATION
No list of Scottsdale spa treatments would be complete without a nod to this Southwestern-inspired experience at Well & Being at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. The treatment begins with a sage smudging to cleanse your energy. Next, a purifying scrub with essential oil-infused desert salts smooths your skin. After a rain shower rinse and a soak in the thermal mineral magnesium bath, you’re ready for a massage with jojoba body butter and warm Himalayan salt stones. A Sedona clay mask facial, scalp massage and warm herbal wrap follow. An application of facial moisturizer regenerates your skin and leaves you glowing.

The treatment includes a soothing eye mask to help brighten and nourish skin under the eyes.
BOULDERS CITRUS SKIN SMOOTHER
If the dry desert air has your skin feeling parched, the Citrus Skin Smoother at The Spa at the Boulders Resort is just healing remedy you seek.

Following a Vichy shower, an application of warm oil softens and nourishes your skin leaving it smooth and glowing.
MASAMI FACIAL
This signature facial the Spa at Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain hydrates skin, reduces inflammation and imparts anti-aging benefits. Your treatment begins with a stimulating glycolic acid and dermaflash double exfoliation followed by a luxury collagen treatment. This indulgent facial combines the powers of precious minerals to reduce the appearance of fine lines, redness and puffiness.
ADOBE CLAY DETOX WRAP
Inspired by ancient Native American healing rituals, this treatment from The Spa at Camelback Inn exfoliates, nourishes and detoxifies the skin and body. To begin, an aromatic conditioner is massaged into the hair and scalp. Next, pure adobe clay is applied to the body to relax muscles and draw impurities from the system. A Southwestern-inspired soap and cactus fiber cloth is used during a shower to remove the clay and is followed by a gentle application of warmed juniper and sage oils. Relaxation in the sauna completes this purifying ritual.
HOT HERBAL POULTICE MASSAGE
Experts at Spa Avania at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale apply warmed muslin poultices of Thai herbs mixed with ginger, lemongrass and camphor in a kneading motion to soothe muscle tension and stiffness. The heat and herbs reduce aches and pains, relax tendons and ligaments, aid in healing bruises and increase lymphatic drainage.
AROMATHERAPY BODY POLISH
Get your glow on with this revitalizing treatment at The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North. You’ll begin by selecting an aromatherapy blend that suits your needs, be it relaxation, energizing or balancing, for example. Then, your therapist will use this blend in an exfoliating scrub to slough away dry skin. A rinse and application of rich moisturizer follows, leaving you feeling refreshed. For a special treat, add on a hydrating hand and foot treatment using essential oils and natural emollients to soothe even the driest skin.
