K WEST SPA LAUNCHES NEW TREATMENT USING POWERFUL AFRICAN ‘FEEL GOOD’ SUPERFRUIT BAOBAB

… At K West Spa, the Baobab African Ritual is known to start with a relaxing full body exfoliation, followed by a “feel good” massage and cooling therapy for the legs. The sublime relaxing ritual harnesses the unique powerful ingredients produced by the African Baobab tree, which are exotic in nature and rich in nutrients. This is said to be a nourishing, protective, smoothing and hydrating experience that will boost skin health and leave you both feeling and looking rejuvenated.

To make us feel great on the inside too, the treatment concludes with a complimentary smoothie made with 100% Baobab extract, designed to leave one feeling naturally energised whilst naturally boosting our immune system! I don’t know how you personally feel about this spa treatment, but I for one am sold!

A SPOON FULL OF SUGAR

Tackling effects of skin glycation, Germaine de Capuccini has launched Timexpert C+ (A.G.E.)
Glycation is caused by excess glucose in the diet, which damages collagen, elastin and protein fibres in the skin, leading to an increase in lines and wrinkles. Timexpert C+ (A.G.E) has been designed to counteract the negative effects of skin glycation, both at the dermal and epidermal level and features a new formula which combines the anti-ageing power of Vitamin C with the powerful anti-glycation ingredient, Ume Extract. Inhibiting the adverse effects of excess sugar, this potent combination is available in a cream and an emulsion.

 

TREATMENT OF THE WEEK

Send your senses into overdrive with an Eastern Journey by Spanish Beauty Brand Germaine De Capuccini. It has just launched exclusively at Chaun Spa in London’s Langham Hotel.

Then there’s a body exfoliation using spices, resins, woods, bamboo and poppy seeds, followed by a front massage using creams rich in antioxidants and vitamin E. Some gentle stretching using a silk foulard, a hot stone massage and warm silk body wrap are the icing on the cake. langhamhotels.co.uk

Pre Holiday Prep

Germaine De Capuccini Fitness Partner Slim – £85

It’s the ‘remodelling shorts’ that come with the cream that makes this anti-celutiile product stand out: essentially control pants that use body heat to power the product deeper into the skin for faster effects. No cream will get rid of existing cellulite, but firming the skin lessens the appearance of dimpling. The pants are not the most comfortable option, but you’ll feel more bikini confident in 3 weeks.

HELLO HYDRATION

Germaine de Capuccini’s Men’s Hydrating Balm (SPF15) is an easily absorbed product that helps strengthen the skin’s natural resistance against environmental aggressions including pollution, air conditioning, central heating and extreme temperatures. Ideal for combination skin, the balm provides specific care for Men’s needs and revitalizes and energies skin.

 

 This is one seriously luxurious treatment, kicking off with a Japanese-inspired double cleanse using warm towels, and some lifting and contouring massage. The facial also makes good use of the brand’s hero product, the Pure C Essence Ampoules – pure shots of vitamin C that visibly boost skin’s appearance like nothing else I’ve ever used before.

DEFYING GRAVITY

Traditionally, sun protection creams were thick and chalky, but the newest breeds of high power SPFs such as Germaine De Capuccini’s Urban Shield SPF50, are lightweight and don’t leave a white film on darker skin.

BEAT WINTER BLUES WITH THE LATEST SPA RETREAT

“My friend Sarah sampled the Journey into Serenity, an hour and 20 minutes of bliss. The massage treatment starts with the application of Obsidian Holistic Stones, which are applied to chakra energy points on the body, to induce relaxation. She chose a citrus Mediterranean Massage Candle Sunset in Egypt, then the warm wax containing vitamins and essential oils was poured over her body before a tension-busting body massage. I have to point out that she also fell asleep – an amazing feat for someone who, by her own admission, ‘never switches off’.

I opted for the African Baobab Ritual. The treatment involves a relaxing mix of exfoliation and massage, followed by an uplifting scalp therapy and an energising leg therapy. All the products used are produced from the African oil taken from the seeds of the Baobab tree. They smelt heavenly and this, combined with soothing music and the therapist’s magical touch, helped me drift into a relaxed state. Later we sipped ‘perfect skin’ herbal tea in the relaxation area – and it worked (a colleague told me I looked ‘glowing’ on Monday).”
