Soho Sanctuary: A True Sanctuary for Your Troubles

There are lots of reasons to go to a spa. You want to relax, you're looking for incredible ambiance, you want the best treatments around. Well, you'll find all that and more at Soho Sanctuary.

I decided to give myself a little treat recently and booked the Sanctuary Body Gloss. Here's how it's described on the website:

You will be buffed and bathed during this body treatment for skin that's lost its sparkle. A soothing Sanctuary Massage is followed by a full body salt scrub to slough off dead skin. After a quick rinse in a private shower, skin is nourished and re-hydrated with a shea butter and vitamin oil body wrap. Healthy, new skin will glow with a natural shimmer for days.

Well, you know what? This description was 100 percent accurate. What it failed to mention was how unbelievably amazing I would feel during and after the treatment. The spa itself is so luxurious, with both cucumber and lemon waters and various dried fruits and nuts in the lounge. (Not to mention an amazing number of magazines, more than I've seen at any other spa.) The treatment itself is lusciously wonderful, and skin really is left feeling so soft and smooth.

Now, this treatment doesn't come cheap. It's $185 for 90 minutes and $150 for 120 minutes. But trust me when I say it is totally and completely worth it. You'll walk out feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and unbelievably relaxed ... and your skin will be glowing for days on end.
