Why Winter Is The Perfect Time For Spa Treatments
Winter tends to leave the skin dry and dull, but it also offers the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to soothing spa treatments. With the cold temperatures and harsh elements, your skin can often feel neglected. That’s where a spa experience, coupled with the natural benefits of Ouray’s hot springs, comes in. It’s a chance to pamper yourself and nourish your skin while warming up your body.
How can spa treatments help your skin feel better during the colder months?
When the weather turns chilly, our skin tends to lose moisture. Dry, flaky skin becomes more common, and we’re constantly battling irritation. A good spa treatment can help reverse the damage done by the winter elements and restore balance to your skin. We’ve seen the difference it can make here at Sage Spa, where we specialize in skin treatments that deeply hydrate, exfoliate, and leave you feeling refreshed.
The Healing Powers of Hot Springs
One of the highlights of Ouray is the natural hot springs. These mineral-rich waters have been soothing weary travelers for centuries. Imagine soaking in these warm waters while the cold winter air surrounds you – it’s the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate your body.
Guests who are not staying at the hotel receive one complimentary hour of access to the hot springs when they book a spa treatment. If they do not book a treatment, a day pass is required for access.
But how do the hot springs specifically help your skin? The minerals in the water, such as lithium, can help with skin irritation and inflammation. These natural elements work to detoxify the skin and promote circulation, leaving you with healthier and softer skin. If you’re looking to boost the effects of your spa treatment, incorporating a visit to the hot springs can be a great way to enhance your experience.
Top Spa Treatments to Soothe Your Skin This Winter
Winter is all about nourishing your skin. Ouray offers an array of spa treatments that target specific needs during the colder months. Whether you’re here for a quick escape or planning a longer stay, taking the time to care for your skin will make the cold weather feel a lot more bearable.
Facials
Facials are one of the most effective ways to give your skin the hydration it craves during winter. We offer specialized treatments at Sage Spa, such as hydrating facials, that help restore moisture and rejuvenate dry, tired skin. These treatments can include everything from deep cleansing to nourishing masks, which help lock in moisture and leave your face feeling soft and radiant. Another highlight is that we only use Elemis products that come with a promise to beautify your skin even more. It’s an experience that not only soothes your skin but also provides you with a moment of tranquility.
Massage Therapy
Massages during the winter months help ease muscle tension that can build up in the cold weather. After a long day of hiking, exploring, or simply relaxing at the hot springs, a deep tissue massage can rejuvenate your body and leave you feeling refreshed. But beyond relieving physical tension, massages also promote blood circulation, which can be beneficial for your skin.
We also offer a Custom Pressure Massage that allows our clients to choose the pressure they want.
Body Treatments
Winter can leave your skin feeling dry all over, not just your face. Facials and massages can help energise and refresh your skin. These treatments use moisturizing lotions or oils that nourish the skin while sloughing off dead cells. Sage spa offers treatments like Peptide facials, pro collagen age defy, CBD massage, massage and facial all in one; all of which will help restore your skin’s softness and hydration.
