Olga Lorencin-Northrup, co-owner of Kinara and esthetician to the stars, makes personal recommendations for ideal Mother’s Day treatments:

To get that ultimate motherly glow, Lorencin-Northrup recommends Kinara’s signature Red Carpet Facial. This customized facial’s ingredients are tailored to skin’s needs including a skin analysis, custom herbal steam or pack, deep pore cleansing, exfoliation, relaxing face, neck, and shoulder massage, muscle firming treatment, custom blended mask, antioxidant treatment for hands and custom blended moisturizer. This treatment also utilizes amino acids to gently exfoliate, brighten and smooth skin without side effects. After very light extractions, a blue algae mask is applied to deeply hydrate. A serum of caviar or green tea extracts puts a finishing touch on this beautifying treatment. Fifty-five minutes: $150

Growing up, the touch of Mom’s skin is what comforted us most. Kinara’s Bora Bora Body Scrub is a deeply relaxing total body treatment that leaves skin feeling incredibly smooth and silky. This Bora Bora Scrub begins with an invigoration of the skin to increase blood flow using a combination of brushes and hand techniques. The carefully blended scrub mixtures of Hawaiian Brown Sugar, sea salt, kelp, and essential oils of Sandalwood, Cedar wood and Mandarin are applied with loofahs to gently and thoroughly exfoliate skin from head to toe. After the scrub, Vichy showers cascade warm water over the entire body, gently rinsing exfoliants and dead skin cells away. Specially formulated moisture-rich creams are then applied with a gentle massage to reinvigorate the new skin layers. Perfect for regenerating fatigued skin. Fifty-five minutes: $110

The ideal complement to the Bora Bora Body Scrub is the intensive and effective treatment of the Shea Butter Wrap, designed to detoxify, cleanse and hydrate skin. This super-hydrating wrap improves elasticity and suppleness to the skin. It is excellent for overstressed, overexposed and post-pregnancy skin. The specially formulated blend of African shea butter and aloe comfrey solution leave skin with a revitalized, refreshed, silky, and radiant glow. Fifty minutes: $120

Now that Mom’s had her day at the spa, she can stroll through the Kinara Cadeaux, where she can take a piece of her spa treatment home with her, taking her back to Kinara Spa heaven whenever she pleases. To extend Mom’s spa-glow, Lorencin-Northrup recommends Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse, a sublimating golden dry oil created to be a modern beauty enhancer without being a cosmetic. This luxurious multi-purpose golden dry oil brings radiance to the skin and a glossy shine to hair. Quick to apply with an ideal beauty intensifier that combines the skin care moisturizing benefits of Huile Prodigieuse (nourishing, repairing, moisturizing, soothing), with an added subtle sheen to the face, décolleté, shoulders, arms, and legs.
