Following the release of the Irish Spa Awards Winners<\/a> 2014, it looks like spa and beauty treatments are going to be all about honey and whiskey in 2015.<\/p>\n

The Irish Spa Awards ran an Indigenous Irish Treatment<\/strong> award category which encouraged therapists around the country to create a unique Irish treatment, using only ingredients grown in or native to Ireland.<\/p>\n

The Irish Spa Awards were said to have seen everything from peat, moss, spuds, stout and beeswax entered into the exciting award category. While all of the native Irish ingredients entered had beneficial properties, there could only be one winner.<\/p>\n

The highly coveted award went to N\u00e1d\u00far Spa at Ballygarry House Hotel<\/a> in Co. Kerry. Designed by therapists, Gina Groves and Emma Garry, The Honey & Irish Whiskey Salted Body Scrub<\/strong> proved to be the judge\u2019s top pick.<\/p>\n

The treatment starts off with an intense scrub consisting of Irish whiskey, fine Dead Sea salt\u00a0and organic honey from beehives in Gina\u2019s very own beehive apiary. The finishing touch to the award-winning treatment is a sweet honey body balm consisting of beeswax, again from Gina\u2019s beehives, organic oils and fairtrade butters.<\/p>\n

The treatment proved to be extremely beneficial for the skin due to it\u2019s healing ingredients:<\/p>\n
