One word: Relaxation
October 10, 2007
If you’re looking for a way to decompress from hectic London city life, Elemis is your place. A day spa where you breathe a sigh of relief just walking into the door. Hidden away on Lanchashire Court, you’d never think tranquillity would be a few steps off of the bustling New Bond Street. But it is. And it does the trick.
I spent 2 hours there getting both a tri-enzyme facial (as recommended by the other Tipped review) and full body massage. The massage was first and they start by dry brushing your body and gently massaging your feet. Then they get the oil out and start working on the kinks. Although I’m a toughy and asked the nice gal to go hard, she did her best and resorted to what she thought was “hard” pressure. It wasn’t hard enough but I was too relaxed to keep making a fuss. She spent most of the time on my upper back and neck which cause me the post pain and it was really nice.
The Tri-enzyme facial is all about anti-aging and helping to diminish fine lines and pigmentations. It was bliss. No extractions like typical facials, just lots of masks that make your skin tingle. Again, totally relaxing.
I felt like I had meditated for 2 hours when I finished (even though I’ve never meditated for more than 5 minutes) and my skin is absolutely glowing. Too bad London public transportation stuck the grime back on it on the way home.
I’m going back again next week.
