COCONUT HEALING
by Hayley Gudat
So Scottsdale! magazine, July 2006
The Eurasia Spa at the Scottsdale Resort Club may be brand-spanking new, but the folks there sure know a thing or two about tending to sunburned and sensitive skin. Eurasia’s Velvet Retrieve treatment is a perfect example. In this relaxing hour-plus treatment, you will first be covered in a gentle moisturizing emulsion made from a customized blend of fresh coconut, vanilla and herbal extracts. After removing this tropical concoction, the body is then massaged with warm coconut oil to leave the skin silky smooth. Besides being non-abrasive and gentle on the skin, the key to this moisturizing treatment is really in the ingredients. Coconut oil has antibacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties, and is well known as a skin soother. To tropical islanders, the coconut is both a source of food and medicine, thus nicknamed, “The Tree of Life”.
