January can feel dim or dull, but you don't have to lose your luster. Now is the time to brighten up winter months with some socially distanced wellness treatments. Spas in Western Colorado and throughout the state are still offering body services, from traditional facials and massages to services with a unique slant and unusual ingredients, along with experiences like a hot towel facial to bring men back to the treatment table.

The following four spas offer an array of unique treatments to usher in a fresh start for this new year.

Revival Vail Valley believes in an integrated merging of mind, body and beauty and offers a holistic approach to skin care, focusing on the bigger picture when treating their clients. The spa/clinic uses only result-driven and science-based products that contain clean, organic, wild-crafted and research-based ingredients. Frequently thinking out-side-of the-box and living up to its name, Revival Vail Valley now offers the Halo hybrid fractional laser, which combines ablative and non-ablative wave-lengths that simultaneously target the top layer of your skin and the deeper tissue underneath the surface, for a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers.

“Halo is considered a second-generation laser — an improvement on previous lasers, which require more treatments and more downtime to achieve the same type of results you can get with one Halo treatment,” says owner Jessica Ballentine.

Through February, SunWater Spa in Manitou Springs is offering the Jubilee Winter Berry hand and/or sole massage. This luxurious 15- or 30-minute treatment uses a rich, fragrant blend of fir needles sweetened with fruity notes of wild berry, peach and orange, embraced in a base of cedarwood and raspberry. The service includes application of warm, soothing shea butter and jojoba, palm and coconut oils left to sit and then massaged into the hands and/or feet. This treatment can be enjoyed on its own or added to any skincare service, including bacial (back facial), eyelash and brow tinting, as well as hair removal services.

Unlike traditional paraffin treatments, “SunWater uses Eco-fin, a natural, eco-friendly alternative to paraffin wax treatments,” explains Gabriela Siva, spa services manager. The Jubilee Winter Berry treatment contains no petroleum, synthetic fragrances or dyes.

Suite One Skin Care in Grand Junction is a place of serenity and wellness. It offers a full array of customized skincare and aesthetic services while employing a holistic approach to treatment and product selection. Their beauty lines offer non-toxic, fragrance-free and naturally scented products. Services include: custom and signature facials, hair removal with hypoallergenic waxes, LED light therapy, reef-friendly sun care and organic and vegan makeup.

Suite One is starting 2021 with dermaplane facials customized to each client’s skin care needs. “The service begins with a relaxing warm scented towel, breathing in the calming aroma, and then cleansers are used to clean and nourish the skin without stripping it,” explain manager Katie Lorentz. “Then, a gentle and effective enzyme is used to soften and digest dead skin cells, promoting blood flow and circulation in the skin. This circulation enhances oxygenation, allowing nutrients to flow in. Facial and neck skin is then prepped for the dermaplane service, with an organic facial oil to promote healing and moisture throughout the service. A sterile surgical blade is used that gently scraps away and removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and supple.”

The Woodhouse Day Spa in Durango offers a unique array of custom facials, including the Gentleman’s Hot Towel Facial, and the Winter Wellness package that combines therapeutic massage and their unique Illuminating Facial. Guests can also choose a Swedish, deep tissue or 90-minute Volcanic Hot Stone Massage, and head-to-toe Vichy shower with a relaxation room overlooking the beautiful Animas River.
