Aston Martin F1 driver Jessica Hawkins becomes Elemis brand ambassador

Jessica Hawkins, Aston Martin Aramco’s head of F1 Academy and driver ambassador, has become a brand ambassador for skincare company Elemis.

Hawkins’ new role marks the next step in the first-ever collaboration between a luxury British car manufacturer (and its F1 racing team) and Elemis, its official skincare partner, revealed earlier this year.

The partnership between the two brands reflects a shared commitment to inclusivity within Formula One, a sport witnessing a shift in its fan base towards young women. Hawkins’ Elemis appointment further solidifies Aston Martin Aramco’s ‘Make a Mark’ strategy to champion diversity and positive change within the sport.

Making real snow available year-round and creating an authentic experience is truly fascinating

Elemis will work with Hawkins to celebrate the growing female F1 audience she’s building. She is a 30-year-old British racing driver and has been a stunt driver for films including James Bond, No Time to Die, in 2021. She started racing when she was only eight years old and continues to race professionally. She will compete this year at the GT World Challenge in an Aston Martin Vantage GT3 car.

Elemis will unveil exclusive, limited-edition product ranges this year as part of the multi-year tie-up with the F1 team. The brand recently launched a pop-up in Harrods, the luxury retailer in London, offering 'pit-stop' facials.

Going geothermal

Laugarás Lagoon is a new destination day spa, extending Iceland's growing geothermal bathing circuit

Anew geothermal wellness destination will open in Q3 this year in the Icelandic village of Laugarás, strategically positioned on Iceland’s Golden Circle – a popular tourist route.

Laugarás Lagoon is a two-storey geothermal lagoon on the banks of the Hvitá River designed to allow visitors to descend from an upper pool to a lower pool through a passage under the water’s surface, emerging through a waterfall.

The 1,000sq m bathing area will include a cold pool for contrast bathing, using glacial water from the nearby river, as well as two saunas, relaxation spaces, two swim-up bars, a 6.6-metre waterfall and a secluded grotto with seating.

Treatments will be deeply personal journeys, shaped by therapists’ unique training, philosophy and passion
Lasse Eriksen

Celebrating expertise

Farris Bad is revolutionising the role of the therapist, as Lasse Eriksen explains

At Farris Bad, we believe in the transformative power of knowledge and in the people who hold it. In an industry often shaped by standardised treatments, we’re shifting the focus back to where the real magic happens – under the control of the therapist. Their hands, their experience and their energy are what create unforgettable guest experiences. Our therapists are not only leaders within our resort, but also active participants in international events and competitions, sharing their expertise and drawing inspiration from around the world.

We’re strong supporters of the International Massage Association (IMA) and we were honoured to be recognised as IMA Spa of the Year in 2023 for our excellence in wellness.

We’re proud of our team, whose talent and dedication continue to set new standards in the industry. Now, we’re taking that excellence one step further by introducing specialist treatments by Farris Bad therapists.

Innovation in treatments

A collection of exclusive 75-minute treatments will be created and performed at Farris Bad by therapists with up to 30 years’ experience. These will not be treatments written in a manual, but will be deeply personal journeys, shaped by each therapist’s unique training, philosophy and passion. They will represent the very best of what each therapist has to offer, refined through years of practice and a deep connection to their craft.

This evolution in our programming mirrors what we see in disciplines such as yoga, where clients seek out specific instructors for their unique knowledge, energy, insight and presence.

At Farris Bad, we believe spa guests will – and already do – seek the same and this shift honours individuality, supports specialisation and puts the therapist’s identity at the centre of the guest experience. By championing this personalised approach, we’re fostering a culture of recognition and respect. Therapists are empowered to take

ownership of their work, which boosts job satisfaction and supports long-term staff retention. Guests then benefit from treatments that go far beyond the expected, crafted with authenticity, intention and mastery.

The extra cost for clients of €20 associated with these bespoke treatments goes directly to the therapist, acknowledging the value of their expertise and rewarding their commitment to excellence.

Naturally, this new model brings challenges. If a therapist is unavailable, their treatment cannot simply be replicated. But this is not a flaw, it’s a feature. It highlights the authenticity and irreplaceability of the experience. In these cases, guests are offered the resort’s high-standard classic massages, ensuring they still receive outstanding care.

Guests benefit from treatments that go far beyond the expected, crafted with authenticity, intention and mastery

Crafting the future, together

We envision a future where therapists are celebrated as artists of wellness, where their growth is nurtured, their individuality respected and their passion shared.

This is more than a new service offering. It is a statement of values.

The future is not about one-size-fits-all treatments. The future is personal. The future is therapist-led. And it’s already begun. ● Lasse Eriksen is development manager at Farris Bad and a sauna expert

WINNING FORMULATION

111SKIN’s spa/clinic concept is making waves globally – backed by a combination of medical expertise, intuitive partner support and potent products

111SKIN is a market-leading brand created by world-renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr Yannis Alexandrides and CCO Eva Alexandridis. Marrying medical expertise with advanced skincare, the brand was born from a need to bridge the gap between plastic surgery and everyday skin health. With more than 30 years’ experience and more than two decades of in-clinic practice at London’s 111 Harley St, Alexandrides leads 111Skin’s research and product development. He originally launched the brand in 2012 to offer clients post-surgical skincare solutions that were both effective and non-irritating – something he found lacking in existing clinical-strength products.

“Eva said, ‘If the right product doesn’t exist, then why not make it yourself?’ So, I did,” he recalls. From this vision, Alexandrides developed NAC Y2, his patented reparative complex, laying the foundation for 111Skin.

Leveraging his deep grasp of the epidermal structure, Alexandrides continues to push boundaries in skincare. His formulas incorporate next-generation actives designed for even the most sensitive skin, directly inspired by his experience with cutting-edge cosmetic technology and in-clinic treatments.

MAKING WAVES IN SPA

111Skin entered the spa industry in 2018 and swiftly established itself as a leader in sciencebacked, results-driven treatments. By merging Alexandrides’ medical expertise with clinic-inspired techniques and sensorial spa application, the brand has created a unique treatment philosophy – combining the luxury of a spa experience with the transformative results of 111 Harley St.

Rooted in both clinical and holistic wellness, the brand’s spa concept delivers indulgent treatment journeys while ensuring visible, lasting improvements to the skin.

Developed by Alexandrides and 111Skin’s global head aesthetician Milena Naydenov, these treatments integrate signature steps designed in the clinic to set new standards and revolutionise spa aesthetics.

Following Alexandrides’ 3D approach to aesthetics, the manual techniques work beyond the skin’s surface, engaging facial musculature to sculpt and renew for dramatic, sculpted results.

111Skin supports partners with an in-depth education programme
Our formulas are directly inspired by my hands-on clinical experience

A GLOBAL LUXURY PRESENCE

From launching in premier spas at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong and Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire, 111Skin has expanded into over 100 elite locations worldwide. This includes a curated mix of medi-spas, renowned facialists, prestigious hotels, and over onethird of Forbes 5-Star Top 100 properties.

PARTNERING FOR SUCCESS

Science is at the heart of 111Skin, making education a cornerstone of its spa division. Comprehensive training ensures spa partners gain an in-depth understanding of the brand’s clinically advanced products and treatments. The education programme supports therapists and extended teams, including marketing and sales, with ongoing learning opportunities.

Beyond training, 111Skin fosters partnerships with generous incentives, gifting programmes and collaborative marketing support.

“At 111Skin, we pride ourselves on our hands-on approach with spa partners,” says Tom MacPherson Le Maire, director of global spa, clinic and distributors.

“We act as an extension of their team, offering best-in-class education, dynamic trade marketing, business development, PR and branding activations. Our goal is to grow together, aligning with our partners’ ambitions and helping them achieve them.”

111Skin’s professional spa treatments offer clients impressive visible results

discussions underway, the brand is poised to further expand its spa/clinic concept globally. The brand plans to deepen its relationships with key hotel partners, with a strategic focus on North America and APAC.

“We see tremendous potential to develop new treatments and wellness concepts with our collaborators,” says MacPherson Le Maire. “Many of our core partners have plans to expand, and we aim to grow with them – sustainably and with purpose. We estimate an opportunity of another 30-40 hotel partners over the next 2-3 years.”

EXPANDING HORIZONS

111Skin boasts strong spa partnerships with leading operators, including Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, Accor Luxury, Marriott Luxury and Rosewood. And with exciting

With a strong foundation and a clear vision for the future, 111Skin continues to evolve, shaping the next chapter of high-performance skincare in the luxury spa space. l
