The treatments include the ‘Lava Shells Facial' which is available at six of the Hand Picked spa properties, the ‘Bamboo Massage', inspired by ancient Eastern mythology, and a new menu of ‘Treatments in the Forest' where guests can relax and indulge under an outdoor gazebo at Rhinefield House Hotel in the New Forest.

Following the success of the ‘Lava Shells Massage', which debuted in Hand Picked Spas in summer 2009, this summer sees the introduction of the Lava Shells Facial at properties in the collection including Norton House Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh, Nutfield Priory Hotel & Spa in Surrey, Rookery Hall Hotel & Spa in Cheshire, Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa in Kent and New Hall Hotel & Spa in Birmingham.

Spa guests who choose the Lava Shells Facial will be transported to paradise by this soothing and natural therapy.  Using eco-friendly, tiger-striped clam shells from the South Pacific, this 55 min soothing treatment starts with a face, neck and décolleté deep-cleanse and polish, before a relaxing and gentle massage with self-heating Lava Shells.  Guests will then enjoy a refining mineral mud mask followed by a scalp massage. Treatments start from £60 for 55 minutes.

The new Bamboo Massage is a technique that incorporates bamboo stalks of varying lengths and diameters that shape, mould and stretch limbs to improve mobility, blood circulation, muscle tension and reduce stress. The Bamboo Massage is performed using Gerard's Massage Oil containing bamboo bio-extract, obtained from the pith of the bamboo cane, and blended with natural rosehip oil - renowned for its healing properties. Enjoy a Bamboo Massage from just £60 at selected Hand Picked Hotels with spas including Rookery Hall Hotel & Spa in Cheshire and Norton House Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh.

In addition, guests are invited to enjoy a treatment al fresco when they visit Rhinefield House Hotel in the New Forest.  Developed specifically to enjoy outdoors and offered exclusively at Rhinefield House, Treatment in the Forest is an experience that takes you into the natural elements and under the enchanting canopy of the New Forest.  Starting with a soothing foot bath of freshly picked herbs and flowers, Treatment in the Forest is a 75 minute full body massage with a nourishing mud facial scented with either Lavender or Mint which are grown in the grounds of the hotel.  Surrounded by great English Oaks, Japanese Cedars and Sweet Chestnut trees, with views down into the forest guests will also be able to try the latest spa treatments from Hand Picked Hotels including the new Lava Shells Facial and Bamboo Massage as well as test Spa Find's Mineral Facials and Full Body Organic Massages.
