San Miguel de Allende has a nature reserve that boasts large collection of native cacti and flora, as well as aromatic flowers like lavender. We aim to honour this natural bounty in all our treatments. The following recipe is one we’ve used since the very beginning. It’s a simple body scrub that has many benefits. It is anti aging, renews skin, enhances your sun tan, and primes your skin for other treatments. The results are instant: your skin will be soft and radiant.
