I went to the Liz Earle spa on sloane square yesterday and it was fabulous! I had a signature facial.
The place is very relaxing and calm- its underneath the shop, which is much bigger than their old shop. My facialist, Alex, went through the massive form I had to fill in before she started- and said some quite interesting things. I explained that I still get spots at 27. She said the areas I get spots in represent trauma in different parts of the body. the forehead is the liver and the chin is the reproductive area. I must look into this more, actually.
Then, she left me on my own to take off my clothes and- this is the best bit- get into bed. A beautiful, orthapedic, heated bed, with lovely fluffy duvets and crisp sheets.
The actual facial was as follows:
cleanse x2, steam, extraction (hurrah! sqeeze those buggers out!) a kind of micro demabrasion instrument, then a kind of cupping machine, used on your face neck and chest. whilst I was steaming she gave me an arm and hand massage, then at the end she put my mask on and gave me a neck, chest and scalp massage which was amazing.
The whole thing was wonderful, and afterwards i could barely move. I was so laid back I nearly got run over on the Pimlico Road walking home. My skin feels, looks and smells amazing.
I would highly recommend it. There was no sales element at all- I do already use Liz Earle but she didn't encourage me to buy anymore. It is pricey. But its not bad value for money- 90mins- However, I won't be having £85 facials regularly. I suspect this is due to its location- they do offer a cheaper facial at £65. Apart from those they only currently offer waxing (pretty competitively priced) or massage, but more treatments are on their way.
