1.Uarim TriActive
The Radiance Reviver,
from £59 for 1 hour 20 minutes.
How After a thorough examination
(the facialist could even tell which halter wedding dresses
side I sleep on!) I was deep-
deansed. double-exfoliated and
massaged with oils to drain away
pore-clogging, skin-puffing toxins
from my face, neck, d^colletage and
shoulders. I even got a hand, foot
and (dry) scalp massage while the
peel-off masque was hardening
which blissed me out. It ended
with the application of creams and
serums to send me home glowing.
Wow I emerged with skin looking
very shiny in a good way. It felt
smooth and looked even-toned:
a walking advert for relaxation. CH

2.Gumot heaute Nrutr,
from £42for 1 hour.
How After being covered
with a duvet on a heated bed, my
skin was cleansed and assessed
under a lamp. A tingling exfoliation
to shift dead surface cells was
followed by a soothing foam
massage. Next came a fruity pure
vitamin C masque which black and white wedding dress worked
its magic while I relaxed with a
shoulder and neck massage. The
treatment ended with a medley
of moisturisers.
Wow I left feeling soothed - it was
as restorative for my frayed bridal
nerves (with just two weeks left

hydrated and a work colleague said
I looked super-refreshedJS

3.What Elemental Herbology
The Elemental Facial,
£85for 15 minutes.
How In a relaxing treatment room
on a ndiculously comfy bed, the
therapist began with an in-depth
consultation taking into account my
age, lifestyle and the weather to
pinpoint my needs. Based on the
Five Element Theory, my face fell
into the metal/detox/autumn
category (meaning it was congested and oily). Next came the double
cleansing (nice) and some petite wedding dresses extraction
(not so nice but, hey, no pain,
no gain) followed by a face mask
(nice again), with massage and the
all-important moisturising to finish.
Wow I floated home without a
care in the world (although the
extraction did leave a little bit of
redness). The next day my skin felt
smooth and looked radiant. JC

4.FJftnis Visible Brilliance, from
£55 for / hour 15 minutes.
How was photographed
and problem areas highlighted
courtesy of some clever computer wizardry. The results? Fine lines, a
little dehydration and a smattering
of bacteria (from pollution, I hasten
to add). Plenty of facial massage
using anti-ageing serums followed
(sublime sensation note: the serums
tingle, but are more oooh than
argh!) before an Amino Active Mask
deep-cleansed and plumped out my
skin. An intensive eye massage and a
soothing head and shoulder massage
nudged me into the land of allure wedding dresses nod,
before soft Tibetan chimes signaled
a restful wake-up call.
Wow My face felt clean, smooth
and just the right side of shiny. As I

to apply my signature perk-me-up
Monday morning blush). LP

Facia/, £25 (redeemable against
two or more skincare purchases)for 45 minutes.

luxurious and
relaxing as did the facial, which was tailored to my skin.
A hydration probe measured my
skin's moisture levels (or lack of),
followed by gentle buffing and a
generous helping of Genifique
Youth Activation Concentrate,
massaged in using another probe
(vibrating stick of blue light to you
and me). More massage and a
sumptuous mask followed, before a
finale of skin-quenching moisturiser.
Wow My face looked (and felt)
great - genuinely glowing, especially
the morning after. I was relaxed
(without being spaced out), and one shoulder wedding dresses as
there was no extraction or harsh
exfoliation, I didn't leave with any
red patches. GH

6.What Sisley Radiance
Treat men! with Ginseng,
£95for lhr
How My skin was cleansed
probably more deeply than it ever
has been before, then analysed
under bright light. The therapist
expertly dislodged a blackhead
which I'd been unable to shift, then
massaged and gently exfoliated my
skin. A ginseng-infused face mask was
smoothed on for some skin biing
and, as it worked, my feet luxunated
in a blissful massage. It finished with
a finger-light application of beach wedding dresses eye
cream, moisturiser and lip balm.

into the snugly bed to the moment
I had to haul myself out of it, I
completely switched off from daily
hassles. My skin looked clearer and
more glowing, and stayed that vintage wedding dresses way
for a week. Heaven. SG
