March 18, 2010 (Telluride, Colo.)…Elle.com, a foremost online resource for women, recently named the Turquoise Wrap at The Spa at The Peaks Resort one of the Top 10 Spa Treatments in the U.S. The only treatment to be featured in Colorado, the Turquoise Wrap is “not only one of the hottest colors of the season, it is also seen as a color of protection, selfconfidence and positive energy” according to Elle.com.

“This popular treatment is a soothing treatment, and ritual, based on Native American belief in the vibrance of turquoise,” said spa director Kristi Dickinson. “Just in time for spring, we look forward to offering the power of this ancient stone to brighten our guests’ skin, and quite possibly, soul.”

An 80-minute treatment, the Turquoise Wrap will envelop guests in the hue – from a Hopi blue cornmeal body buff to a warm, ionized turquoise clay wrap. During the cleansing, a therapist performing a rain stick ritual with traditional essential oils followed by a warm shower and a layer of luxe moisturizer to hydrate and soothe the skin.
