Nourishing the body with superfoods isn't enough to get that healthy glow. These days, spas are adding more treatments featuring various superfoods at the star ingredient to help their clients get the most healthy, glowing, radiant skin and hair they can. "Companies and clients are gravitating more toward nourishing the skin with superfoods,” says Elizabeth Adam, Doctor of Naprapathy and owner of Elizabeth Adam Salon and Day Spa in Chicago, Ill. “Loading one's skin up with vitamins, amino acids or peptides, the building blocks of proteins, minerals and antioxidants, is an important part of skin care and superfoods are a great way to apply nourishment to the skin."
Taylor Fields, director of spa operations at the Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa in Birmingham, Ala., adds, "When applied topically, superfoods take a completely different approach and produce different results than simply ingesting the superfoods."
