Sisley's Intensely Indulgent Facial at Claridge's

Love London

There are few locations in London more decadent, more luxurious than Claridge's, and there are few skincare brands as indulgent as Sisley, so the fact that Sisley run the treatment rooms in the Claridge's spa is a match made in luxury skincare heaven...

Located on the 6th floor of the hotel, the Health Club and Spa at Claridge's is haven of tranquility. I was welcomed with a sumptuous fluffy bathrobe and cosy slippers, before being escorted into the waiting area where I enjoyed some white tea before being led through to the beautiful treatment room for my facial.

The renowned French company Sisley creates the highest quality skincare and make-up products, combining the best of nature and science. Sisley’s Les Soins Essentiels benefit from the unique “savoir faire” and experience of this brand where plant extracts and essential oils are at the heart of the treatments. Incorporating massage rituals from around the world, Sisley treatments transport the individual into a sensual world where the body and mind is reunified. The choice of four facials on offer means you can select which one is best suited to your individual skin type and needs; Supreme Anti-Ageing, Luxury Sisleÿa Global Anti-Aging Facial, Intensive Anti-Aging Hydrating Treatment, or the Claridge’s Signature Sisley Facial which I plumped for.

I was scrubbed, masked, massaged and moisturised for 60 minutes using a range of Sisley products, all of which smell deliciously herbaceous thanks to the cocktails of essential oils. One of my favourite products used within the facial was the Gentle Facial Buffing Cream gently exfoliates and eliminates surface dead cells and impurities, refining the texture of the skin. It contains camomile extract with soothing and softening properties and increases the skin's receptiveness ready for further masks and creams. Step forward the Radiant Glow Express Mask. The powerful absorbent properties of clay are combined with extracts of red vine, carrot and rose hip to help eliminate impurities that dull the complexion. Within a few minutes the mask absorbs excess sebum, leaving skin radiant and clear.

Post facial I was left with utterly glowing skin, and left totally relaxed. A fabulous experience all round.
