Shine Spa is a quiet haven in the
busy city of Pune. It features a
well-curated list of therapies aimed
at rejuvenating the body and the
mind. As the new year begins,
detox is mostly likely a top priority
for most people; and this is exactly
what the spa sets out to do with
the ‘Abhayanga’, a massage using
warm herbal oil aimed at draining
the body’s toxins and improving
circulation. A herbal paste is then
applied to moisturise the skin. To
further enhance the skin’s natural
balance, a detoxifying body wrap
with orange extract is applied as
it helps tone the skin and remove
toxins. http://www.starwoodhotels.com
