THE INNLET DINING ROOM
This cinnamon-sweet and butterscotch-caramel
cocktail treatment includes a relaxing soak in
Red Hot Sparkling oil made with grapeseed
and olive fruit oils for an anti-oxidant treat that
moisturizes and soothes winter
skin. Next a Butter Rum brown
sugar scrub exfoliates rough
skin leaving a smooth revitalized
surface. Then a hot honey glaze
is drizzled over the skin and
then wrapped, which seals in
aloe, honey and live papaya
fruit cells which help provide
deep hydration. To finish a
warm citrus-vanilla whipped
Shea Butter brings an uplifting
kick to this Love-ly treatment.
As an added treat enjoy a
complimentary box of red hots.
