Living in Somerset, we’re surrounded by some of Colorado’s most breathtaking natural beauty. From the rugged peaks of the West Elk Mountains to the serene flow of the North Fork of the Gunnison River, nature is our daily backdrop. But what if you could bring that same pure, rejuvenating energy into your self-care routine? That’s the heart of the natural beauty spa experience, and it’s a perfect fit for our Somerset lifestyle.
A natural beauty spa isn't just about a facial or massage (though those are wonderful!). It’s a philosophy. It means using products and treatments derived from the earth—think botanical oils, mineral-rich clays, and herbal infusions—that work in harmony with your body. For us in Somerset, this approach feels instinctive. After a day of hiking at nearby Raggeds Wilderness or tending to our gardens, our skin and spirit crave authentic, gentle nourishment. It’s about enhancing the natural radiance you already have, not masking it.
So, how can you embrace this locally? First, look for treatments that solve real problems for our high-altitude climate. The dry air and intense sun call for intense hydration and repair. Seek out facials using hyaluronic acid and calming aloe, or body wraps with local, organic honey. When booking a treatment, don’t hesitate to ask where ingredients are sourced; many Colorado spas proudly use regional botanicals. You can even start at home: before your next soak in the tub, add a few drops of lavender essential oil and Epsom salts—a simple, natural remedy for muscles tired from a day on Somerset’s trails.
Supporting a local natural beauty spa here in Somerset also means investing in our community’s wellness. It’s about choosing a neighbor who understands the specific needs of our environment and lifestyle. These spaces often become havens of calm, where the pace slows to match the rolling hills, offering a vital counterbalance to busy lives.
Ready to experience it? Your action plan is simple. First, research local spas within a short drive of Somerset that emphasize organic or natural product lines. Read reviews and look for mentions of “botanical,” “organic,” or “holistic.” Next, book a consultation or a introductory treatment, like a classic facial, and communicate your skin’s needs in our unique climate. Finally, bring a bit of the spa home. Ask your esthetician for one simple product recommendation—a moisturizer or a cleanser—to build a daily ritual that keeps that Somerset-ready glow alive every day. Your skin, and your spirit, will thank you.
