Top 3 Luxury Facial Treatments in London

Dolce Sposa — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 16:02:43 +0000

I got a voucher for my birthday in June that I still have not used and I am deciding which facial to go for. The facial treatments availalbe in London all look so good and I wouldn’t mind trying them all if only the prices were a little bit more affordable. I got slightly distracted whilst in the process of checking out the different treatments available at the spa where I got the voucher from and I started looking out for the most indulgent treatments available. It was fun doing this “research” and I am now ready to share it with you. Without further ado, I now present you the top three luxury facial treatments in London.

Facial 1: La Prairie’s Five-Star Treatment – The ultimate relaxation treatment from La Prairie using Caviar for facial, exfoliation, mask and massage in the state-of-the art spa at The Claridges Hotel. £265 for 3hours

Facial 2: Perrier Facial – Bathing in mineral water, facial cleansing, facial, three types face masks and massages all containing the perrier sparkling water. Hands and feet are also treated in style by being soaked in sparkling water with bubbles to stimulate all the pressure points. £150 for 1hour

Facial 3: Red Carpet Facial – This facial is a combination of three treatments – La Grande Classique (cleansing, facial, exfoliation, extraction, mask and massage), Diamond Tone (using diamonds for resurfacing to remove top layer of the skin) and the Oxygen Therapy (a treatment that atomizes straight to the skin with special concentration and oxygen). Celebrities like Naomi Campbell, Gillian Anderson and Danni Minoque are big fans of this facial as it brigthens, hydrates, nourishes their skin leaving their skin always radiantly stunning. £170 for a 2hour session

The Dorchester Spa

When I was first started writing this article, I thought I wouldn’t be able to share anything useful or inspirational for brides-to-be to read. But whilst daydreaming, I actually thought that I can share to our readers where I want to be right this very moment. Okay, just to make it clear, I do not indulge on this whenever I please, but since I am feeling poorly and down with a flu, I think I can excuse myself for seriously wishing I can be at the Dorchester Spa to have my personal favourite the Dorchester Rose Ritual. It is the the ultimate relaxation and pampering treatment I feel my body needs.

I love this treatment and I highly recommend it to all our readers. They use fresh rose petals, rose scented candles and towels, rose cream and rose water for the whole spa ritual which lasts 2.5 hours. This includes a gentle exfoliation, body massage, body wrap, rose facial complemented by a hydrating rose mask and a to-die-for scalp massage. They also give you a specially made rose cake and a glass of rose champagne to enjoy at the end of the session.

Now this is what you would call an exhilarating relaxation and pampering experience. You always read bridal countdown tips on magazines and blog sites like Dolce Sposa on how to prepare your skin for the big day and this is one of those treatments absolutely suited to help you achieve the fresh, radiant and youthful glow on your wedding day. I am sure this is something you will love and enjoy. Trust me, it is addictive but worth the money especially for a once in a lifetime wedding preparation.
