“Sardinian Signature” stands not just for beauty but also bodily health thanks to the beneficial properties of the excellent local products: myrtle, grapes, sea salt, helichrysum and eucalyptus are just some of the natural Sardinian resources used in the special range of facial and body treatments at the Marinedda SPA at Isola Rossa.
The special “Elisir di giovinezza” facial treatment using Cannonau grapes is one of the most frequently requested treatments on the “Sardinian Signature” menu.
Wine therapy, increasingly in vogue in recent years, has its roots in ancient Greece. In recent years, thanks to research undertaken in the Bordeaux region of France, the benefits of grapes in aesthetic terms have been re-evaluated and are especially recommended to prevent skin ageing.
Sardinia is a land rich in vineyards and the Cannonau grape is the most widespread of all. Compared to other grapes the renowned black fruit turns out to be three times richer in polyphenols, multifunctional ingredients contained in the seeds, stems and skin of the fruit. Cannonau grapes have a powerful antioxidant effect on the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and prevents the formation of wrinkles.
In the “Elisir di Giovinezza” facial treatment, the soothing and moisturizing action of grapes is linked to the positive cosmetic effects of helichrysum, a fragrant plant that is common on the island which relaxes and regenerates the skin. The exfoliating action is carried out using obsidian, a typical volcanic stone from Monte Arci which is rich in magnesium and iron while oranges and lemons stimulate cell renewal and give radiance to the skin.
An idyllic moment dedicated to your face during a relaxing holiday in Northern Sardinia.
