All the leaves are brown, and, your skin is gray…It may not feel exactly like fall here in Los Angeles with the Santa Ana winds about to kick in, but that hasn’t stopped the local spas from creating treatments using seasonal fall components to benefit the skin. Traditional autumn ingredients such as cranberries, pomegranates and pumpkin are potent in antioxidants, promote the regeneration of skin cells, exfoliate, hydrate, soften the appearance of fine lines and improve texture and pliability.

At Body Bar Spa in Silverlake, customers can book an appointment for the Cranberry Crush Facial. This luxurious facial includes exfoliation to remove dead skin cells left over by the summer’s sun and heat and a cellular turnover boost to provide relief for stressed and tired skin. The Cranberry Crush Enzyme Masque contains L-Lactic acid to smooth the skin while the properties of cranberry purify. This treatment is also great for correcting sun damage and hyper-pigmentation.

The Pumpkin Peel at i Medspa in El Segundo transitions skin from summer to fall. The gentle pumpkin enzyme peel is a natural alpha hydroxy acid and can be used on most skin types. The fragrant peel gently exfoliates and breaks down the dead, dry surface layers of the epidermis. It also detoxifies the skin and infuses it with vitamins and nutrients.

“This is a great pampering treatment that yields visible results,” says Ande Akinrele, Founder, i Medspa. “The delicious pumpkin aroma also delights the senses and prepares you to get into the holiday spirit.”

If you find your way down to the beach, definitely stop by the Le Merigot Spa in Santa Monica. Known for their luxurious and peaceful atmosphere located right on the ocean, Le Merigot fuses two of fall’s most sought-after ingredients in their Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar Scrub. The vitamin-rich body scrub refines the silhouette with natural sugar cane to melt away dryness. An application of Stone Crop Lotion will lighten and prevent pigmentation while moisturizing your skin.

In the heart of Hollywood, SPA LUCE at Hollywood & Highland Center gives you the red carpet treatment with the Sugar & Spice Holiday Spa Treatment. A five-part ritual massage treatment, the Sugar & Spice layers the therapeutic and anti-oxidant properties of pumpkin, orange and cranberry. The skin will be purified with an orange wash, thoroughly scrubbed with spiced pumpkin sugar, polished with nutrient rich rice bran, and hydrated with an Orange, Cranberry and Vanilla body butter. The treatment closes with a signature massage using warmed silk oil to energize and restore the whole body. In addition, for every Holiday treatment booked, clients will be given a complimentary gift bag with SPA LUCE signature bath and body products created by Dr. Sharon.

At the end of the holiday season, your body might need a little down time to recover from all of the rich foods and holiday party-going. At Dtox Day Spa in Los Feliz hydrate and rejuvenate skin with the Aloe Skin Soother. Using organic aloe, hemp and shea butter, the specialists cover your body with a cooling wrap that soothes and rehydrates. The Aloe Skin Soother is loaded with omegas that penetrate deep while moisturizing and increasing circulation.
