It?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s hard to believe that the Fourth of July is already behind us, and Labor Day is fast approaching! Many of us are taking advantage of the few weeks of warm weather we have left by spending time outside?¢‚Ǩ‚Äùwhether it be playing with the kids or soaking up some sun on the beach. While sunshine and family memories are great, damaging your skin in the process is not!

Amidst the vines of the Ch?ɬ¢teau Smith Haut Lafitte located near Bordeaux, the first Vinoth?ɬ©rapie?Ç¬Æ Spa created by CAUDALIE offers a program of exclusive treatments based on the benefits of vines and grapes in an environment of rare beauty….

This is the type of Spa that beauty writers dream of…

Special Caudalie Package

Not only is this new form of Vinoth?ɬ©rapie?Ç¬Æ creative, artistic, and scientific. It is the ultimate revolution in forward thinking for spa beauty products. It is the new spa revolution! So Viva La France! When I was asked to represent, try, and use the Vinoth?ɬ©rapie?Ç¬Æ collection. I jumped at the opportunity. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the collection. From the decadent Vinoth?ɬ©rapie?Ç¬Æ Crushed Cabernet Scrub, to the Vinoth?ɬ©rapie?Ç¬Æ Merlot Friction Scrub. I tried them both, and fell in love with them both.

Crushed Cabernet Scrub

Vinoth?ɬ©rapie?Ç¬Æ Relaxation Cure

But that is not enough to convey just how decadent these products are. As a beauty product critic, these are high quality all the way. From the finest ingredients used. The Caudalie Laboratories have drawn on years of research conducted by the Bordeaux University of Pharmacy focusing on the benefits of polyphenols. The secret is the stabilization of the polyphenols from the grape. They offer unequal action against free radicals. Which is at the very heart of cell rejuvenation.

The Caudalie Spa world has done it. And created a variety of spa products that truly do work. The Vinoth?ɬ©rapie?Ç¬Æ collection smells fantastic (all those great mints, spearmints, rosemary and geranium essential oils). That gives you the ultimate spa experience at home. To where you can feel Bordeaux and the vineyards throughout the whole experience.

Crushed Cabernet Scrub

This is the Vinoth?ɬ©rapie?Ç¬Æ Spa’s signature scrub. Its formula is natural: crushed grape-seeds are mixed with brown sugar, pure Gironde honey, and 6 organic essential oils. This scrub smoothes out cellulite and has a draining effect, leaving skin wonderfully smooth and nourished. With Essential oils of juniper berries, cypress, lemon, lemongrass, rosemary and geranium. The experience is refreshing and rejuvenating! You will feel alive with this one!

Merlot Friction Scrub

This “mint butter” scrub shapes and tones. It is extremely natural, combining organic essential oils of lemon, peppermint and sweet mint. With its soft and slippery touch and fine grains of sugar, it will become the favorite of skins that enjoy the benefits of essential oils of peppermint, sweet mint and lemon, without a slippery finish. The experience is truly delightful, refreshing, and very relaxing.

So from one of my favorite spa’s to you. I ask you to visit the Vinoth?ɬ©rapie?Ç¬Æ Bordeaux Spa online to learn more about this fabulous new Spa therapy. And believe me, you will want to visit. And you won’t want to leave.
