With winter very much upon us, it is imperative to look after our skin. Indoor heating, in contrast with the cool winter air outdoors, can make our lymphatic system sluggish, leaving our skin feeling dull and dehydrated.

Now is the time for nurturing and nourishing. We look after our bodies with warming foods, cups of tea and cosy nights in, so why not treat your skin to some extra loving care too. This is the perfect time to amplify hydration and add an Instant Glow Face Masque to your Sunday evening routine, snuggle up with a blanket, and relax with a good book.

At Gaia Retreat & Spa we have created just the facial to nurture and enhance any dull winter skin…

Our new Cryo Therapy facial combines gentle lymphatic drainage, cool rose quartz Gua Sha and Cryo Globes to collectively reset and cleanse the lymphatic system. The combination of beginning the treatment with cocooning you in a warm, toasty bed and applying cool light strokes is a beautiful experience of the temperatures this season. Cryo Therapy helps calm any redness, reduce inflammation and decrease puffiness – all symptoms associated with dry skin or a slow lymphatic system.

We have designed this treatment to feature our long-term partner, Retreatment Botanics, enriched with Australian native botanicals for conscious skincare and powerful plant actives to transform the skin.

Our highly skilled beauty therapists perform a double cleanse, exfoliation and steam to remove any surface cells, excess oil and dirt, and open up the pores ready to receive deep nourishment. We then infuse a combination of nourishing oils, such as Retreatment Botanics’ rich Restore Serum, with our tailored lymphatic drainage and Cryo therapy massage sequence. This elevated treatment will leave your skin feeling firm and toned, and your soul deeply relaxed.

Whatever your skincare needs are this season, Gaia Retreat & Spa has treatments to support you this season. Enjoy giving yourself a newfound radiant glow and a little spring to your step during these winter months.

We look forward to hosting you in our Day Spa soon,

Melanie, Anna & Nicole
