Stone Age-old Beauty Secrets
Edited by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
You don't have to crack open a fashion magazine to know
that women will do almost anything — anything! — to look younger. From plumping
up their wrinkles with Botox injections to slimming down their thighs with
liposuction, it's all about finding ways to cheat time. Well ladies, get ready
to turn back the clock. The world's ultimate anti-aging authority has just
rolled into Houston, a woman whose allure has lasted for, oh, about 3.2 million
years.
"Lucy," the famous fossil skeleton discovered in 1974, is making her world debut
at the Houston Museum of Natural Science’s new exhibit, "Lucy’s Legacy: The
Hidden Treasures of Ethiopia." Inspired by this icon's enduring radiance, The
Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Houston has created the Lucy Body Wrap, a nourishing
one-hour treatment guaranteed to tighten, purify and hydrate every inch of your
skin.
After a head-to-toe exfoliation,
you'll be slathered in a fragrant anti-aging salve of rosemary, pine, damask
rose water and pink grapefruit, and enveloped in a gold body wrap. And then,
while those natural ingredients work their miracles, you'll receive a relaxing
frankincense aromatherapy scalp and neck massage. If you're looking to emulate
Lucy's timeless glow, don't dally! This exclusive treatment is available only
until the well-preserved gal skips town April 20, 2008, to embark on her U.S.
tour.
If you're ready to make tired, puffy skin a relic, visit
The Spa at
Four Seasons Hotel Houston to find out how!

TIPS
Houston is a car city. Unless you stay in the downtown
area, public transportation is not easy and cabs are expensive.
