One of the most popular services is a locally sourced Oaxacan chocolate massage and full-body scrub. The service begins with sampling a piece of the Oaxacan chocolate used for the massage. This treatment promotes skin hydration and the removal of dead skin. After the treatment, your skin is left feeling silky and with a subtle chocolate scent.
Splurge Treatment: The 3D Collagen Shock Facial. This treatment promotes firmness and elasticity. This is a firming and remodeling facial that uses contouring techniques and three types of collagen for triple density. The facial uses a heating gel that stimulates microcirculation, which boosts the synthesis of collagen and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
