Beauty Black Book: Cowshed Spa

I firmly believe that TO SPA is TO LIVE, so rarely a month goes by that I don't visit one of my fave beauty havens for a pampering treatment (massages preferred, thank you very much.) My most recent jaunt was to New York's posh SoHo House to experience Cowshed Spa's newest seasonal body treatment, the Spicy Warming Honey and Mango Body Wrap.

This decadent, 75 minute treatment ($160) is multi-tasking in its approach, aiming to exfoliate and moisturize, not to mention relax and pamper. The Wrap kicks off with a full body exfoliation, first via a vigorous dry brushing (so effective!) and then a natural sea salt scrub. After rinsing off in the in-room shower, I was treated to a warming wrap that included the delicious-smelling essences of spices, honey and mango (make sure you've snacked prior.)

While my body was wrapped up like a little enchilada, I experienced a divine, extended scalp massage and nourishing hair mask.  The treatment concluded with a relaxing mini massage using Cowshed's Body Contour Cream.

If you need some indulgence as the weather cools down, the Spicy Warming Honey and Mango Body Wrap is available from November - December 2010. To book a treatment, call Cowshed Spa at 646.253.6111.
