Cornelia Spa at The Surrey

THE HOLY GRAIL
WHERE Cornelia Spa at The Surrey Hotel
WHAT A two-hour treatment called “The Purist” envisioned by Cornelia owners Ellen Sackoff and Rick Aidekman, with an assist from chemist Jack Ventimiglia that detoxifies, cleanses and hydrates the body. A taste of honey sets the mood for the journey, which begins with exfoliation by a Lavender infused towel, then application of Shea Butter and Cypress Oil to soothe and hydrate the body. This is followed by a Slimming Wrap, which detoxifies the body with an abundance of trace minerals and vitamins. Next comes a warm bath infused with Detoxifying Mineral Salts, ginger, lemon, dandelion and wild marjoram to further flush out toxins, capped off with a light application of Firming Crème of algae balm, mint, lemon, and lavender.
