At Marciena, Your Complete Retreat Spa, in Laguna Beach, peace-seekers who indulge in 60 minutes of custom skincare procedures along with a calming massage go to “Heaven”, as most clients will say. During the Marciena Signature Facial, a deep cleansing clears out pores and a superb peeling from France will reveal fresher skin while scrubbing off phone numbers scrawled on cheeks. Extractions then sweep away problem spots with more gentleness than a teddy bear breaking bad news, and touch-therapy massages reduce shoulders, feet, hands, and arms to pools of molten contentment. The 20 minute regenerating massage will take you to another place where your mind is totally relaxed and you won’t want to leave this spa. Next, a revitalizing mask preps the way for a nutrient-packed moisturizer or a clarifying mask is used to help fight problem skin. Organic aromatherapy waltzes into nostrils as warm stones and five facial-massage techniques help to calm and tone. Those who opt for the Signature Marciena Facial also receive a special mask, which can help hydrate and firm lids and lips, and a choice of either a hand or foot reflexology massage administered with vitamin cream. The final touches are serums, eye and lip creams and either a superb night cream or a sun protection cream during the day that guards facades against the seductive advances of sunrays.
During the relaxation massage, your therapist uses long, rhythmic strokes of a pressure level calibrated to patrons' preferences. Frames relax beneath the skilled therapist's fingers, which stimulate circulation and turn muscles into buttery states. Candles and flowers pop against the spa's fresh walls, and guests can snuggle on their heating blanket. All snacks, warm teas or Holiday drinks are included.
