Spa Montage Rejuvenates Skin & Spirits With California Citrus Polish

By Pardhasaradhi Gonuguntla

Bring OC Treatment Home: Spa Montage Recipe for Invigorating Lemon/Lime Foot Soak

Spa Montage offers guests a head start on summer vitality with the antioxidant power of fresh citrus.

WHAT: The California Citrus Polish at Spa Montage invigorates tired skin with the
natural antioxidants found in fresh lemons, limes and oranges, while an easy-to-create
lemon/lime foot soak for at-home use offers quick relief to sore, tired feet.

WHY: The Vitamin C antioxidants in citrus fruits revive sluggish skin, boost the immune
system, improve energy levels, increase circulation and hydrate skin; offering relief to
skin that has been over-exposed to sun, ocean salt or dry air. Limes bring oxygen to the
skin, adding a radiant glow and, as with lemons, assist in slowing the skin’s natural aging
process. Lemons also act as a natural antiseptic, aiding skin conditions such as acne and
eczema, and minimizing the appearance of freckles.

HOW:
• California Citrus Polish: an exhilarating body scrub, created from locally grown
organic citrus fruits that are synonymous with sunny southern California, revives
tired, dull, dry skin. After the body is polished, the hydrating scrub is rinsed away
with Vichy Shower shower heads strategically positioned over the body’s reflex
pathways, followed by an application of hydrating lotion to lock in the body’s
moisture and further enhance absorption of the antioxidants from the citrus fruits;
$130 for 30-minute treatment

• Invigorating Lemon/Lime Foot Soak: enjoy at home benefits with a foot soak you can create in minutes. Ideal for anyone experiencing tired feet from walking in heels, standing all day, or training for a marathon.
•One-half small-lemon, and one half small lime, cut into thin slices (use 3-4
slices of each fruit)
• One-half cup Dead Sea Salts (preferred, but Epsom salts also work)
• 3 drops eucalyptus oil
• Fill a large bowl or your bathtub with warm to hot water (not too hot) and add the above ingredients. Soak both feet for 10 -12 minutes. Your feet will feel renewed.

WHERE: Spa Montage, Montage Laguna Beach, 30801 South Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, 866-271-6953

AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS: Spa Montage Director Julie Raistrick is available to discuss the use of organic fruit and other indigenous ingredients in custom therapies, and the ongoing development of signature treatments to enhance mind-body balance.
