L’Occitane en Provence incorporates pure shea butter to soothe and stimulate

The Spa L’Occitane en Provence at Le Couvent des Minimes – the world’s first spa to be awarded the ECOCERT Sustainable Wellbeing Center certification – has unveiled an exclusive Shea Soothing Treatment.

Using certified organic shea butter, the deeply nourishing hand and foot treatment restores the skin, relieves tension and promotes relaxation.

The treatment begins with deep guided breathing and a comforting hand gesture on the ears to help refocus energy and encourage letting go. Hands and feet are then enveloped in heated pure shea butter to activate hydration. A soothing pressure-point scalp massage helps to relieve stress.

Once the mittens and socks are removed, a precise expert massage of the hands and feet works to release tension, stimulate circulation and provide deep relaxation. Breathing and light pressure techniques conclude the soothing treatment. www.loccitane.com
