Feeling ready to sparkle? A fabulous new salon treatment from Spain's biggest skincare brand Germaine de Capuccini not only leaves your skin feeling energised and glowing with health - but also envelopes your body in a dusting of pure gold particles. How utterly decadent!

This glamorous two-stage body treatment harnesses the natural powers of golden algae - a type of seaweed, found in Brittany, that uses sunlight to absorb natural gold from the ocean (yes, there really is gold in the sea)! Incidentally, this amazing algae has also been shown to reduce skin's sensitivity to harmful UV rays.

So what does the treatment actually involve? Well, first you'll enjoy a skin-nourishing Gold Star body wrap, which means being cocooned in special golden sheets for 20 minutes. Once their stimulating and energising work is done, the sheets are removed using warm mitts.

It's then time for a sumptuous Gold Star Nectar massage, which smells absolutely sublime and leaves your skin feeling deliciously soft, supple, enriched and revitalised. This part of the treatment can also be combined with Germaine de Capuccini's exclusive Obsidian hot stones or massage Pindas containing energised stones. The result? You'll end up glowing with health, as well as - literally - glowing with gold.

And if you want to try out a few more Germaine de Capuccini treatments, we can heartily recommend the Deluxe Chocolate Body Wrap, which really is as delicious as it sounds. What's more, it's hydrating, nourishing, smells divine - and it helps banish cellulite. Throughout the hour-long experience, deluxe chocolate melts into the skin, helping to remove contours, smooth orange-peel patches and eliminate stress. Pure bliss!

The Spa Gold Body treatment and Deluxe Chocolate Body Wrap cost around £70 each. For more details and to find a salon near you, call 0845 600 0203 or visit www.germaine-de-capuccini.co.uk.
