Palm Springs, CA Spa and Massage

One part skincare boutique, one part spa, Spallure excels at keeping skin healthy and bodies beautiful. Moisturizers, cleansers, and scrubs from such brands as Bliss, Clarisonic, Kai, and Elemis line the shop's shelves, waiting for a shopper to scoop them up for at-home care or for a Spallure staffer to select them for use in an in-house spa treatment. These specialists polish clients from head to toe with full body waxing, facials, massages, and body scrubs dubbed with whimsical names, such as the fatgirlslim body treatment and the No Zit Sherlock facial. Meanwhile, spa packages for bridal parties, couples, and moms-to-be combine a number of luxuries into one blissful package, much like leaving a fancy hotel with a suitcase full of bathroom fixtures.

Though wrapping something is usually supposed to keep it contained, the treatments at Segue Body Wraps are meant to force toxins and water weight out. The center’s technicians accomplish this effect by bandaging clients from feet to face in mineral-soaked fabric. Once fully wrapped, clients mount a Gazelle cardio machine to enhance the effects of the wrap with light exercise, which causes more sweating. This helps reduce cellulite and stretch marks while detoxifying the body. The wraps are the main attraction, but there are a handful of other services as well, including teeth whitening, spray-on tans, and detoxifying footbaths, the last of which pull toxins from the body using ionically charged water.
