THE RITUAL
At each step of the spa ritual, we paired a LESSE essential with the treatment. Before the sauna, guests spritzed the Regeneration Mist to prep the skin and defend against the heat, with astaxanthin shielding against oxidative stress and front-loading antioxidants. In the steam room, guests applied the Bioactive Mask to enhance detoxification and purification. The warmth of the steam enhances the work of charcoal, a powerful detoxifier, while aloe vera and other soothing botanicals work to calm and soften the complexion.

THE EAR SEEDING
Saheer Hussaini Quinn, founder of Set Your Intention Acupuncture, offered guests ear seeding treatments, a traditional Chinese practice that places delicate seeds on points of the ear. For this evening, Saher targeted the brain-gut connection, points to de-stress, and promote better sleep.
