You have your body in the blue corner screaming for it, and your face in the red that has refused cooperation until you pacify its demands. Between clocking the required work hours, keeping up with the social circle, and making an attempt to get the mandatory hours of sleep, tending to the needs of our body and mind can be a little bit of a challenge sometimes.
Well, the good news is that the beauty and wellness industry has adapted to the needs of the on-the-go spa enthusiasts. And thus, express treatments were born. Caught in a similar not-so-rare battle, I found my answer at the very inviting The Spa by Kempinski, Muscat.
Though there was an option to choose a back, neck and shoulder massage or a foot massage, I reckoned the head massage would be the most appropriate after a long Sunday. As I made my way through the property, I marvelled at the beautiful view of the infinity pool, the tantalizing aroma of a fresh supper spread, and the thoughtfully done interiors.
Slipping into the spa, I was greeted with the distinct sound of falling water, the familiar redolence of a luxury spa, and my beaming therapist; I was ready to soak in the bliss of soulful rejuvenation. After a quick rundown of the line of products that are offered at The Spa, I was served some refreshments in the spacious relaxation lounge. Enriched with vitamins, collagen, amino acids and minerals, it is one of the most premium skincare brands. Suddenly, it was no longer surprising why my therapist just needed minutes to show me results.
The express facial at The Spa uses products from The Cure Collection of Natura Bisse and focuses on restoration of damaged cells, hydration, and detoxification of the skin. My now prepped skin was ready to absorb what followed. My therapist dutifully explained the routine as he massaged my face with what felt like a hydrating cream. The face massage, apart from being thoroughly relaxing, is an essential part of the process as it stimulates lymphatic drainage say goodbye to puffiness , increases blood circulation, and can even help in the development of collagen.
