Lake Austin Spa Resort Introduces New 2012 Spa Menu

Award-Winning Gardens and Texas Hill Country Inspires Treatment Offerings

AUSTIN, TX – Situated on one of the most scenic waterways in the country, Lake Austin Spa Resort often takes cues from nature to enhance its programming - with outdoor water activities, garden inspired cuisine and a huge dose of inspiration reflected in the new spa treatments that are inspired by local ingredients including rosemary, lemongrass, figs and pears, to name a few.

“As I developed the new treatments for the spa menu, I was inspired by the rich, fragrant surroundings of the Texas Hill Country and by the many gifts found in our lakeside organic gardens,” says Robin Jones, Spa Director.

The new treatments will be available to guests starting December 1, 2011. A complete listing of the resort’s 100+ spa services can be viewed online here: http://www.lakeaustin.com/texas-spa-menu.php.

MASSAGE TREATMENTS

Lemongrass Bamboo Bliss

Signature treatment. A deeply relaxing scrub and massage. This blend of our popular Bamboo Bliss massage and exfoliating lemongrass scrub begins with an effervescent body scrub of zesty lemongrass and jasmine to smooth and exfoliate your skin. Then you’ll enjoy a relaxing massage with a specially crafted bamboo roll and Thai lemongrass oil. The bamboo roll is warmed and infused with lemongrass oil and can cover a large portion of your body at one time, sliding, rolling and kneading your cares away. A blissful blend!
100 minutes $280

BODY TREATMENTS

Pear and Fig Body Polish

A relaxing, yet intensive full-body peel and massage. Experience the refreshing power of pear and fig enzymes. These natural enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) renew your dry, sun-damaged or devitalized skin and diminish signs of aging, promoting a polished full-body complexion. After the peel, we apply lavender protective moisturizer SPF 17 to shield your body from the sun’s extreme UV rays and antioxidant Turmeric Root to help reduce redness. We complete the treatment with an omega-rich shea butter massage that will hydrate and repair your moisture-depleted skin. Extremely appealing!
80 minutes $210

Rosemary Citron Sensation

An invigorating scrub, wrap and massage. With a blend of rosemary fresh from our own Healing Garden and mineral-rich sea salts, plus circulation-stimulating citron oils and detoxifying herbal extracts, we’ll give you a revitalizing scrub that will leave your skin smooth and polished. A rebalancing and purifying application using our deep forest body oils with notes of juniper and evergreen.
80 minutes $195

NAIL TREATMENTS

Heavenly Hydration Manicure & Pedicure

An ultra-hydrating manicure and pedicure ritual. It begins with a “scent journey” to discover the aroma that’s right for you. Then a detoxifying epsom and sea salt soak relaxes your hands and feet, as a moisturizing cleanser removes impurities. Next, your skin is smoothed and its moisture replenished during a rich shea butter exfoliation, followed by a massage with an infusion of organic shea butter cream mixed with Vitamin E and jojoba oil. An incredibly hydrating organic shea butter mask seals in hydration as it plumps and transforms your skin for a soft, cashmere feel. Finally, your nails are wonderfully cared for and beautifully polished. Heavenly hydration!
Manicure, 50 minutes $70
Pedicure, 50 minutes  $80

FACIAL TREATMENTS

Refreshing Skin Soothie
A skin-soothing facial, ideal for sensitive or compromised skin, or skin with rosacea. First you’ll enjoy a deeply relaxing, complexion-calming massage that helps cool and hydrate your skin. Then our most advanced masque – rich with Vitamins C, E, Ferulic acid, botanicals, cucumber and rosemary – will firm and soothe your irritated skin. Your skin emerges even and calm.
50 minutes $170
