The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe (NM) introduced the Winter Warming Ritual ($325, 80 minutes), which is designed to help spa-goers relax and revitalize their skin. The treatment uses piñon pine, which is indigenous to the dry high deserts of New Mexico and the Southwest region, and is infused with the essences of wintergreen and lavender, creating a replenishing therapy for the body, mind, and spirit. Here, the spa shares a recipe for piñon pine-based body scrub and butter:
