Red Currant Berry Infused Facial Changes the Face of Spa Treatments at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach

SOUTH BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - Mar 21, 2014) - The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach is seeing red with the addition of the Organic Red Currant Berry Facial to the current Miami Beach spa treatment options, just in time for spring.

The luxurious facial treatment starts on the West Coast of the United States, in Washington State, where the berries are harvested and flown to South Florida exclusively for the Organic Red Currant Berry Facial.

Our South Beach hotel's estheticians use a mortar and pestle to create a currant concoction that also contains elderflower and magnolia bark, formulated to balance and protect the skin while fighting against free radicals -- the leading cause of fine lines and wrinkles.

The 50-minute crimson facial was designed to take preventative action before the early signs of aging begin. This treatment contains a powerful natural antioxidant complex, derived from the red currant berry, which is rich in Vitamins B and C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that fights and even reverses free radical damage in skin cells. These essential vitamins also aid in skin cell regeneration and promote healing from harmful UV ray damage.

The innovative use of the red currant berry is a colorful treatment that will leave spa guests feeling fresh and invigorated just in time for spring.
