LA CURE FACIAL Sisley Spa Paris The international luxury beauty brand, which is located in the Well & Being Spa at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, is the benchmark in phyto-cosmetology, sourcing the best plant-based ingredients from around the world. This hydrating 90-minute treatment revives the complexion by using a proprietary variety of these plant extracts in combination with both an energizing massage and an anti-aging facial stimulation. $380. www.scottsdaleprincess.com. AMETHYST CUSTOMIZED FACIAL Amethyst Spa at We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort An aromatic 60-minute offering inspired by the healing properties of the crystalline quartz gemstone, this facial uses natural ingredients to leave the skin luminous, toned, and revitalized. After a deep cleansing treatment and exfoliation, hydrating products are applied to the skin and a combination of hot towels and ice globes are used to provide deeper penetration. The treatment is finished with an amethyst-infused masque and massage using gua sha stones. $170. www.wekopacasinoresort.com. PHOENICIAN’S FINEST FACIAL The Phoenician Spa Every product used in this customized 50- or 80-minute facial is formulated with a high concentration of active ingredients derived from natural or fragrance-free biotechnological compounds. It features Biologique Recherche, a French line sold only at select spas around the world, to increase firmness and density of the skin and activate epidermal regeneration. The aesthetician will also use cold methodology to maintain the active ingredients that will calm the skin while draining, decongesting, and firming. $310-$410. www.thephoenician.com. OXYGENEO FACIAL Palo Verde Spa and Apothecary The Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows’ intimate spa is using Geneo DNA to produce CO2 bubbles that burst on the skin in this treatment, each of which works to send oxygen-rich blood to the area, increasing capillary flow and skin metabolism. As a result, the 60-minute experience tightens skin while reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discoloration. The regeneration serum for cell renewal also helps to plump and hydrate the skin while preventing maturity spots and features exfoliation. $250. www.andazscottsdale.com. VITA D BRIGHTENING FACIAL WITH NUFACE The Sanctuary Spa This 60-minute treatment at the spa within Sanctuary Camelback Mountain starts with a glycolic exfoliation, which is followed by an infusion of topical vitamin D and proteins that work together to promote new cell production, provide a moisture barrier, and protect against sun damage. A marine-based mask is applied next. Guests can add NuFACE to the session, a micro-current treatment that stimulates and tightens the muscles. $250 ($290 with NuFACE). www.gurneysresorts.com/scottsdale.
