ESTRELLA SPA PUTS A FRESH FACE ON SPA TREATMENTS WITH NEW YOGA FACIALS AT VICEROY PALM SPRINGS

-- Desert destination spa combines beauty and wellness techniques to step to forefront of new treatment trend --

Santa Monica, Calif. - You can get facials until you're, well, blue in the face, but unless the muscles beneath are as relaxed as the skin on top, any treatment will be incomplete. That's the motivation, as well as the radiant expectation behind the new Yoga Facials beauty treatments at Estrella Spa at Viceroy Palm Springs. Born of an innovative beauty and wellness trend that combines yoga's inner-body benefits with the aesthetic enhancements of a spa beauty regime, Estrella's Yoga Facials are just the right touch.

Just as basic yoga increases one's flexibility and overall body awareness, so Yoga Facials relieve facial muscle tension by increasing circulation through massage and exfoliation. "Estrella's Yoga Facial technique focuses on the face, scalp and décolleté muscles by using unique stretching motions and acupressure to sooth and circulate," says Tanya Illustrisimo, Spa Director at Estrella and a true believer in the benefits of yoga for the whole body.

Suitable for all skin types and muscle builds, Estrella's Yoga Facials leave skin glowing and soothed for days. Trained therapists customize each treatment to the customer's particular needs, performing a thorough skin analysis and choosing appropriate skincare products by Dr. Hauschka, Yon Ka Paris and Phytomer - all featured beauty lines at the Spa. Using soothing scents and relaxing massage techniques, the treatment stretches and revitalizes facial muscles and renews skin cell growth. The full 80-minute Yoga Facial treatment costs $180.
