We should all try and relax more often, especially when so many stressful things in life are out of our control. One of the best ways to help yourself decompress is to consider spending a day or weekend at a spa. Eco-friendly spas, which use organic and paraben-free products that are safe for you and safe for the environment, offer everyone a great opportunity to unwind that they can feel good about.

Sustainable Beauty

A favorite eco-beauty oasis in the middle of the San Francisco Bay Area—where Eco to the People is located—is La Belle Day Spa. It’s the mission of founder Bella Schneider to operate sustainably—and conservation of the earth is key. Bella says, “Natural is healing, and eco just feels good, for a real sense of well-being.”

La Belle’s eco-friendly design uses techniques for energy conservation, has recycled glass countertops and rubber and cork floors in a completely non-toxic environment. The treatments themselves are created naturally and full of delicious anti-aging antioxidants. You can take the eco-feeling home with you with La Belle NatureOrganics, a completely plant-based organic skin and body care line.

Best of all is that green spas are sprouting up all over the country. Look to the SpaFinder website to find an eco spa near you.—Michelle Zaffino
