15 Fall-Inspired Beauty Treatments To Book RN
Sure, you could spend a fall afternoon at an orchard picking pumpkins and apples, eating every cinnamon spiced doughnut in sight, and drinking a million ciders (there's nothing wrong with this plan at all btw) OR you could go to the spa. The beauty world loves a good themed treatment (don't we all though?) and fall might just be their favorite season, judging by this list of autumnal wraps, facials, massages, and mani/pedis.
Pumpkin, apple, walnut, cranberry — if it's a fall ingredient, it's somehow worked into one of these ommm-azing services. Just try to keep yourself from eating everything being applied to your face or bod, because it all smells that good.
The best part is — aside from the fact that Thanksgiving and the spa are basically being merged here — all of these offerings are actually super good for your skin! Pumpkin helps speed up cell turnover, while apples provide tons of beneficial antioxidants. So, you no longer have to feel guilty about spending a gorge fall day inside instead of outside, being pampered, clad in flannel and hay.
For The Pumpkin Pickers
1. Pumpkin Facial
Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin, so indulge in an orange poppy pumpkin facial at the Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas. This treatment incorporates pumpkin puree and active yogurt cultures to get your pores super clean, while a blend of anti-aging turmeric, poppy seeds, whole milk, and white clay exfoliates your dermis, leaving you with a J.Lo-esque glow. ($165, Well & Being at The Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas at Las Colinas)
2. Pumpkin Mani
Get your pumpkin mani/pedi on at Eve Salon in NYC. The softening pumpkin scrub and hydrating pumpkin cream smell better than any pumpkin spice latte you've ever had and the nutrients in fall's favorite squash plant are also proven to speed up cell turnover, which means bye-bye dry skin. Bonus: A spiked hot cider is included. ($25/manicure $40/pedicure, Eve Salon)
3. Pumpkin Body Treatment
At the Spa at Conrad Miami, you can unwind with a pumpkin body treatment, which merges a dulce de leche sugar scrub with a pumpkin mousse body wrap. #Yum. Plus, when you book a fall-flavored treatment here, you'll also receive a complimentary yoga class on the outdoor terrace, overlooking the Miami cityscape and Biscayne Bay. ($189, Conrad Miami)
4. Pumpkin Exfoliation
The fire and ice facial at Hilton Waikoloa Village’s Kohala Spa deep-cleanses the skin with a pumpkin enzyme exfoliator, before a soothing clay mask (rich with minerals found in volcanic ash deposits) shrinks the appearance of pores. Get ready for a flawless face after this one. ($150, Hilton Waikoloa Village)
5. Pumpkin Scrub
The only thing better than the scent of spiced pumpkin is spiced pumpkin and vanilla combined. Get scrubbed down with these fall flavors rich in vitamin A at the W Retreat and Spa in Vieques, Puerto Rico so you're super soft (and super relaxed) in time for all those holiday parties. ($130, W Vieques )
For The Apple Addicts
6. Cider Scrub
Since Michigan is known for growing apples, the spa at the JW Marriott Grand Rapids offers a "warm up" treatment, which features fresh Michigan cider, a brown sugar body scrub, and a cinnamon-infused massage with a cup of cider to sip on before and after the treatment. #FallGoals ($155, JW Marriott Grand Rapids)
7. Apple Tree-Enriched Spa Treatment
The anti-aging eyes, lip and feet treatment at Casa Marina and The Reach’s Spa al Mare in Key West, Florida uses plant stem cells derived from apple trees, because you know what they say — an apple a day keeps the bags away. Enjoy a relaxing foot massage, while the treatment stimulates cell turnover, smooths wrinkles, and diminishes puffiness and dark circles. ($100, Casa Marina/The Reach)
For The Nut Lovers
8. Maple Walnut Sugar Scrub
Inspired by the Finger Lakes Region, Ithaca’s August Moon Spa uses a local maple walnut sugar scrub for its "New York State’s Finest" body treatment. The scrub gently exfoliates to promote soft and moisturized skin and it smells seriously divine. ($155, August Moon Spa)
For The Coffee Obsessed
9. Coffee Wrap
Not only is a caffeine fix just what you need after a massive night of partying, but it's great for contouring your bod as well. The Hilton Orlando’s Eforea Spa incorporates seaweed and micronized green coffee into this wrap. Sounds yummy to me! ($125, The Hilton Orlando)
10. Cafe Latte Exfoliation
If you happen to be vacationing in Puerto Rico this fall, you'll want to swing by the Sheraton Hotel & Casino's Zen Spa for their café latte exfoliation treatment. The spa uses local ground coffee beans, peppermint, and botanical extracts to invigorate skin, exfoliate dead skin cells, and reveal brighter skin. ($115, Zen Spa)
For The Cranberry Connoisseur
11. Cranberry Aromatherapy
In Old Town Alexandria in Virginia, you can soothe your mind, body, AND soul with this Swedish-style massage that includes pomegranate and cranberry aromatherapy oil, in addition to a Biotone Hydrating Massage Lotion, which also includes almond, wild cherry, loquat, moisture-binding wheat amino acid, beta glucan, and shea butter for better skin elasticity and hydration. ($100, Lorien Hotel and Spa)
For The Spice Sensualists
12. Vanilla Essential Oil Treatment
There are few things in life better than a hot stone massage, but one with the warm aroma of vanilla takes things to the next level. Spend 60 minutes having polished lava stones that are heated and scented with vanilla essential oils placed strategically on areas carrying stress and get ready for maximum muscle relaxation. ($150, Haven Spa)
13. Red Hot Shandy Oil Treatment
Escape at an Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa with a spiced ginger treatment like a Shandy mani/pedi, which uses volcanic pumice found in red Arizona clay to exfoliate your hands and feet, before soaking them with a splash of Red Hot Shandy oil for a zap of nourishing antioxidants. A tension taming massage with grapefruit and ginger body milk cools and soothes, before a warm paraffin dip is applied with a polish coat of your choosing. ($120, Red Door Spa)
For The Woodsy Inclined
14. Carrot, Warm Milk, & Honey Drizzle Rubdown
At Bliss Spa at W South Beach, relax with a fall-themed treatment featuring skin-softening treats: a carrot mulch and hot oil rubdown, a warm milk and honey drizzle, a supple-upping wrap, a sesame seed and sea salt scrub, and a Vichy shower. ($170, W South Beach)
15. Honey Exfoliation & Body Massage
You basically haven't lived until you've had a body scrub composed of honey sourced from the pristine rainforests in Fiji. Prepare for some full-body exfoliation, then a honey body masque, a warm oil scalp massage, and application of exotic nut oils. Which all sounds so much better than any trip we've taken to the woods.
