W O R D S E va L e h o c z k y
’m at The Lanesborough Club & Spa for the 60 minute La Prairie Caviar Swiss Ice Crystals Facial. Crowned the World’s Best New Hotel Spa in 2017, I know that I’m in for a treat. Upon arrival I am greeted by a lovely lady named Dasha who ushers me from the lavish reception area into the female changing rooms, before taking me to meet my aesthetician Agata. Agata then spends 10 minutes discussing my skin type and how she can customise the facial to meet my needs. The treatment begins with several cream and foam cleanses before a three minute peel and extractions, to ensure my skin is spotless. A skin caviar complex is then massaged into my face, accompanied by a neck massage, that I don’t want to end. Lastly, an application of Swiss Ice eye cream and face serum is applied, followed by The Swiss Ice Emulsion, an age delaying veil. For anyone looking for that sought-after glow and a skin pick-me-up, I can’t recommend this facial enough. I leave with a freshface and a luminous and hydrated complexion.
