When you want to say out with the old dry winter skin, and in with the new moisturized summer skin, just take yourself to these spas.  Here are Spavelous picks for the top Ten Swimsuit Summer Spa Starters for smooth sexy skin.

Tahitian Coconut Wrap

27 Om Spa, Oceanside, New York.  This body treatment uses fresh coconut mixed with sea salts to exfoliate the dead skin cells. Warm coconut milk is gently poured over the body and a special clay mask made from volcanic ash is applied. After the Vichy shower washes the mask away, a coco butter cream infused with essential oils is massaged into the skin leaving your skin feeling soft and feeling like you were just on an island of paradise.

ACE Body Treatment

CopperWynd Resort and Club, Fountain Hills, Arizona.  Designed exclusively for dry skin, this full body treatment includes a deep cleansing and exfoliation of the dry, lifeless skin, an application of a vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E cream which will moisturize and counteract the effects of premature aging.  Your skin will feel refreshed and youthful.

Volcanic Body Relief

Evensong Spa, Green Lake, Wisconsin.  This Carita signature treatment begins with the "Renovateur" body exfoliation treatment, followed by an application of volcanic rich powders and birch aromatherapy oils. You're then wrapped comfortably for 15 minutes to absorb the curative powers of the volcanic powders and oils. While wrapped, experience a soothing cold stone facial massage. Afterwards, you are treated to a 30-minute Labyrinth Heated Stone Massage, carrying you away to experience marvelous restorative and healing effects.

Turquoise Blue Sage Body Ritual

Combines a body polish, wrap, and massage and a Willow Stream Golf Facial, Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, Arizona . Too much tee time can leave you with skin that's not up to par. Exposure to the elements is tackled using the herbal additive bio-maple, which hydrates and carries antioxidant properties to slough away dead skin. The treatment includes a shoulder, hand, and foot massage (perfect after 18 holes) and the spa's exclusive Sports Masque, which aims to hydrate, repair, and protect skin.

Paradise

Heavenly Spa By Westin, Hilton Head Island South Carolina. A restorative treatment for the entire body that provides an antidote to the stresses of everyday life. A mild exfoliation of the body prepares your skin to absorb the profound effects of a kamani oil blend containing extracts of walnut, orange and juniper. Your experience concludes with a relaxing massage using products especially selected to promote environmental protection and cellular restoration of the skin.

Epicuren Microderm Body Scrub

Aquamedica Salon & Spa, Long Branch, New Jersey.  Old World tradition meets modern technology. A unique state-of-the-art tri-crystal microdermabrasion technology combines sea salt, sugar and magnesium oxide crystals to give you the delicate hand applied exfoliation of a full body microdermabrasion, but in an application of a traditional salt scrub. This treatment features a unique "Hydra Shield" formula that will intensely moisturize the body, and then seal it in. The results are unbelievably silky glowing skin.

Beach Body

Bikini Smoother, The Spa at White Barn Inn, Maine . A Sonya Dakar peel gently exfoliates the area and stimulates circulation. The treatment is recommended a few days after a bikini wax to help prevent ingrown hairs and breakouts. Add a green tea peel to brighten skin and eliminate bacteria for an additional charge.

Mediterranean Wrapture

Alvadora Spa at the Royal Palms, Arizona.   Olive oil and seed granules exfoliate dead skin, while a wrap of olive leaf, cilantro, juniper, and lavender extracts moisturize. The treatment (one of the spa's most popular) ends with a scalp massage and application of olive leaf and almond oil lotion.

Para-Joba Body Moisturizer

The Spa at Camelback Inn, Arizona .  Skin is exfoliated with a natural bristle body brush; cooled with lavender spray; swathed in pure jojoba oil; and wrapped in warm paraffin sheets. After the sheets are removed and shea butter cream is applied, your body is hydrated, soft, and smooth.

Ten-Second Tan

Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.  Casino lights are bright, but somehow they don't give you the same glow as a day in the sun. Skin is exfoliated to remove dead skin cells and allow for an even and long-lasting tan. The artisan-applied spray tan contains anti-aging ingredients, minerals, nutrients, and vitamins. When you're done, you can chill out, literally, in the spa's Arctic Ice Room, where it's 55 degrees and snowing year-round.
