Skincare brands not only take care of our skin at home but they also manage spas in luxurious hotels around the world. Here we share with you some of the fancy brands putting their stamp on spa menus with treatments that will make your skin glow and your body succumb to a relaxed state.
Push the door at the Ritz to enter the world of Chanel
The Ritz and French house Chanel go hand in hand with Coco Chanel calling the plush hotel home for years, you can even spend your séjour in the French capital in the Coco Chanel suite. So, when the palatial hotel closed for renovations it was no surprise that its reopening revealed a new spa, and not just any spa, but a Chanel spa. In this chic space, the only Chanel spa in the world, you can treat yourself from head to toe with facials, body massages and by getting your make-up done by a professional artist. For the ultimate experience we suggest you book yourself in for L’Allure de Chanel massage, you can book the massage for an hour and a half, two hours or two hours and a half, and regardless of the duration you opt for the treatment promises to leave you feeling invigorated with the therapists using Chanel scented massage oils during your bespoke massage, focusing on your needs by blending eastern and western techniques.

The treatment concentrates on the face and décolletage to smooth out fine lines, leaving you with radiant and younger-looking skin.
