Prepping your body for fall and winter

Exhale Spa at Loews Atlanta Hotel offers special body therapies for the season

Seasonal changes call for a different kind of skin treatment, and to help prepare your mind and body for chilly fall weather or beat winter blues, opt for body scrubs, massages or sweat therapy.

Spend 24 hours at a traditional Korean bath house to indulge in saunas, dip in a Jacuzzi, get a body shampoo or detox down there with a hip bath. There’s a salon just for men to get haircuts, lathered shaves and groom their nails. Try something different like noninvasive salt therapy which can help reduce stress and detoxify the body.

Nothing beats good, consistent nutrition and exercise but giving your body a break with one or more of the following eight spas and specialty salons can have relaxing, restorative and glowing skin benefits.

Get glowing

Using dry brushing and body scrubbing, the skin is exfoliated and detoxified to remove buildup like dead cells and impurities. While the body scrub is relaxing and your skin will feel silky, the full body massage that follows is the epitome of pampering, allowing you to immerse yourself in nothing, which makes tuning the world out everything. To create this full body experience at home, especially throughout fall and winter, pick up a few products before leaving. 90 minutes, $305. 1065 Peachtree St. NE, Atlanta. 404-720-5000, loewshotels.com/atlanta-hotel.
