An Asian Influence at the Absolute Spa; Celebrating the Chinese New Year

The Chinese believe the New Year means all things from the past should be put behind them. They clean their houses, pay off debts, purchase new clothes, and even get new haircuts. These activities symbolize new life and new beginnings. The Absolute Spa’s menu of treatments has a similar purpose. Guests are encouraged to put the stresses of the day out of mind and to succumb to a new and relaxing experience. In honour of the Chinese New Year here’s a highlight of Absolute Spa services with an Asian influence.

The Year of the Boar: The Moor Mud Facial is done with a potent product made from 30,000 year old mud, rich in over 100 herbs and minerals to purify your skin and pores. Naturally sourced ingredients combined with nutrient rich moor mud enhance your skin’s ability to regenerate. The Moor Mud Skinny Bath aids in relief of a variety of ailments including arthritis, sports injuries, hormonal/skin disorders, poor circulation, and fibromyagia. The ultra-rich and odourless mud is a great water retention fighter and promotes wellness. (Moor Mud Facial 75 min-$125, Mood Mud Bath 30 min-$80)
