Burke Williams Day Spa is pleased to introduce the ultimate Custom Body Polish. This new signature 80-minute body treatment will be available at all Burke Williams day spa locations beginning April 1, 2016.

The Custom Body Polish treatment defines pampering. This exfoliating and moisturizing experience begins with a customized sugar scrub to deeply exfoliate the skin and encourage dead skin cell turn over from head to toe. Sugar contains natural glycolic acid, which when warmed, melts moisture across the skin’s surface. The sugar and essential oils are applied and polished over the skin with a unique body buffer. The buffer stimulates oxygenation and revitalization, which is enhanced by wrapping the body in a warm thermal blanket. The treatment is completed with a soothing H2V Express Facial designed to heal and rejuvenate the skin.

This exfoliating body treatment thoroughly and effectively removes dead surface skin cells leaving the skin glowing, invigorated and polished. Experience this new treatment for $169 ($190 in San Francisco) beginning April 1.

Looking for a great gift for someone who loves taking baths? This next one is a must-buy! This set would make a great gift or is something that you would want to keep for yourself too! I love that they are all natural and they really smell good! I have also found that they leave my skin soft and I like that they dissolve completely. Yes, I imagine that we have all tried a Bath bomb that doesn’t completely dissolve but this is not the case with these ones by Glow by Daye. These really are better than the average bath bomb. They also help with sore muscles, which really impressed me! Most bath bombs just make the water look a cool color and smell good. But, not these ones! The only problem I have is that everyone in the house loves them so I have to share them. They are also packaged in a nice gift box so no need to even wrap the box if you don’t want to!

The set includes the following:

My favorite so far is the Weekend Bliss/Lavender! But, I can’t wait to try the Chill Pill/Milk!
