Salon treatment of the month
The good news? Summer's nearly here - which means we can wave goodbye to low temperatures, strong winds and cranked-up central heating playing havoc with our skin. The bad news? Chances are your complexion's taken a bit of a battering over winter and early spring - so you need to act fast now to wake it up and get it into tip-top condition for the sunny months.
The solution, of course, is to book yourself in for a top-of-the-range facial, which will nourish, protect and revive those hard-done-by skin cells. The Awakening Facial from natural skincare experts Cavalliert is the perfect choice. It lasts a super-indulgent 90 minutes - to ensure your complexion gets the full TLC it deserves.
So what does it entail? Well, first your therapist combines Ginkgo Biloba Gel with an intensive acupressure massage to help unblock blood vessels, and enhance oxygen flow through the skin cells. A heady cocktail of ginkgo biloba and vitamins provides rich nutrition, while building up a protective shield of moisture. It's also great for tackling dark under-eye circles.
Next, highly concentrated anti-ageing Awakening Serum helps fill those lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration - thanks to a mixture of liquorice, lemon, passion flower, rose and rosemary.
And finally, Awakening Cream is massaged into your skin, leaving it feeling warm, velvety, nourished and radiant. Its ingredients? Luxurious plant extracts, herbs and real gold, which has fabulous antioxidant properties.
'The Cavalliert Awakening Facial fortifies skin with all the natural ingredients it needs to built up its defence mechanism, as well as a deep moisture shield that lasts all day long,' explains skincare expert Diana Zouppas. 'One of the tricks is layering: many different layers of deeply nourishing and anti-ageing products are used to ensure your skin is all wrapped up nicely and comfortably in smoothness and luxury.'
The facial costs around £95. To find your nearest therapist, call 020 8568 4565 or visit www.cavalliert.co.uk.
